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.

Besides those drives installed inside other devices, I have like 2 portable ssds and 1 portable hdd totalling like 4 TB
bunch of micro sd cards...
I treat it as an effective 1 TB of storage tho... I mean, I use the multiple storage device as redundancy. I'm not gonna actually treat this as I have 4TBs...
Cloud storage is used as offsite backup.
I have a shitty budget laptop and a steam deck and nintendo switch 2... I haven't even have the energy to play anything for months... mostly just binge watch anime and stuff...
I don't have a desktop... I don't like the idea of a device that's contrained to only be used in one place... how do you even pack it if you wanna move?
That said I don't really have a place I feel "home" yet... so my mind thinks more like a "nomad"
I like using phone more often... cuz you have it with you everywhere, so I treat my phone as my "Main" device... If I type a document, I always copy it to be on my phone at all times...
Hard to move stuff like a desktop pc or a bookshelf of books, dvds, game cartidges... so I kinda favor digital versions of stuff more than physical...
I don't bother keeping "backups" of every media I watched, feels like it would cost too much for storage... when you factor in like replacements when drives eventually die... and the headache of having to manage all that... so I only keep irreplacible files like photos, documents,or my writings. And maybe like a .zim wikipedia file or a bunch of ebooks since those doesn't take much space.
Does everyone on Lemmy have like an entire serverroom or something? Lmfao
(USA btw)
People on here talk about their 100 TB NAS setups, and that seems like the lemmy norm, lol!!
Myself have like 20 TB. Still not enough.
You rang?
