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.

Yours is waterproof? Damn homie, what model you got?
Also, notice that on mine at least, the plastic cover over the ceramic electrode insulator is chrome plated, which looks nice and pretty when new. But after a while, smoke particles buildup around the electrodes, plus the chrome plated beauty cover, starts causing the electrodes to short out.
Also, at one point mine had an issue where the lid safety switch apparently got too contaminated with nicotine and got stuck in the ON position, requiring emergency maintenance service as the damn thing wouldn't even turn off.. 💀
This one. It's vulcanised rubber and has a lock on the side. Got as a gift a few years back. Never used to light a joint. I have a mini blowtorch for that.
Nice 👍
And indeed that looks much better designed and built than mine. But hey, you can't really complain much either way when it was a gift..
Mine was a gift as well, but I'm not complaining, moreso just sharing my observations and situations over the past 2 years.
