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.

There are also some fuel adjuvants that will increase your duty cycle in the short and mid term, but be careful because they can damage your filters and fuel lines and those are very expensive to replace if you can even find compatible hardware, which is a longshot.
EDIT: forgot to mention your fuel pump; people tend to overlook it until it gives out or gets clogged. That's an expensive repair.
They do improve the issues some, but don't solve them fully.
They also delay your human's internal clock, which can make it more difficult to charge them during the next cycle.
oh yeah if your engine timing is off it can make the whole system run really rough, even if it's in otherwise superb condition. That throws a lot of newbies who don't understand why none of their performance tuning seems to have any effect.
