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.

That is a great question,
Easy you would say Caucasian USAns should be from Caucasian Englanders, but look at what each country has become. I who much rather be prefer to have earned our independence from post 1970s’ Denmark, or another Scandinavian Country.
Obviously The Indigenous & Black Peoples of USA are not, the way The Indigenous people were forced by The USA into new form of their nations & The Original Black USAn People stolen/forced from original Black Indigenous Countries.
Every 4th of July ‘Democracy Now’ does an awesome episode on “Where is my” Boack People’s “4th July” speech Federick Douglas.
That was a tough read.
The Douglass speech was “What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?”
Thanks,
