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.

There's no 'rage baiting' involved, I'm not trying to make you mad. I'm just applying some incentives / disincentives to the vegans who like to proselytize.
My lunch would normally be more carb based, but, like I said...
Sure thing buddy lol
It's no more 'rage baiting' than your attempt at proselytizing to me is.
I was proselytizing to you, I stated that up front lol.
I'm aware? This is my attempt at counter proselytizing (counter in the sense of stopping future attempts, not at converting you).
You sure are clever, huh?
I don't particularly think so, but you're free to think whatever you like.
Then let it be known that I think you're a fucking moron lol
Also your right to think so.
Here, I bought a few meat pastries on your behalf. Keep going, I have no objection to becoming a carnivore for the next few days.
If I keep going will you deep throat a sausage lol.
Go on then. I don't care what you do. If you are so spiteful to eat extra meat on my behalf then thanks for vindicating me on my belief that you're really salty about arguing with me lol.
Not that dumb, despite whatever you may think.
Feel free to think that. I'm getting amusement from this thread.
Says the person who couldn't keep their beliefs to themselves.
Deepthroating a sausage is not dumb?
So I'm free to think it, but you don't want to hear it?
As aforementioned, I don't care if you want me to keep my beliefs to myself, I'm going to argue for what I believe is your wrong.
No, I'm not dumb enough to do that.
No no, keep going. I'm normally a pretty light meat eater, but for the sake of my chuckles and giggles I'm happy to kill a few times more animals than I normally would.
Lol go on then, be a spiteful little bitch.
Imagine being so influenced by the opinions of others that you need to publicly announce what you're eating.
YIUTIOWIS
Wait, is this comment talking about me or vegans? It's hard to tell.
YIUTIOWIS: Yes I understand the irony of what I'm saying
Thanks for letting me activate my trapcard, lol.
No problem, I'm entertained, why shouldn't you be too?
Because I don't think the suffering of animals is a joke.
Ok, don't be entertained 🤷
Don't worry I'm not lol
Cool. Stick around, dinner's soon.
