Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Always keep the lid down to minimize poop spray!
You don't want to microdose poop to boost your immune system? Lame.
But how do you check if you need to brush the bowl? Do you just wait for the flush to end and then raise the lid again to check under?
Gonna be honest, I'm just peeing that off the next time I go.
The brush is for routine cleans or times of true digestive discord.
If I lived alone I might resort to this laziness. But I have only lived alone for 8 months in 52 years.
Put toilet paper into the bowl before pooping and you never have a need to brush the bowl.
if your shits are thick enough, every flush is a brush flush.
Flushing with the lid up is 🤢
But then you dont get to watch it go down
How long do you wait before lifting the lid back up to check for streaks?
Until the flush is done
