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.

Anti recording laws from who, the same motherfuckers who want to install a Flock camera on every street corner? I don't think so.
We'll put down our cameras just as soon as they take down theirs.
This but with guns.
Same! You disarm the citizens and it'll get so much worse! It's really the only thing stopping them from moving any faster. Boil the frog too fast and he jumps out.
I'm not saying they're perfect, but the forefathers knew corruption, and knew what it took to defend their ground. Hence the 1st and 2nd amendments!
Which country has fallen to fascism first this time around?
But sure, keep pretending that guns help.
We haven't fallen yet but just imagine if they were somehow able to disarm everyone all at once. How would that fare for everyone?
Not a damn thing would change.
Nobody, and I mean nobody gives a shit about your guns.
They are robbing you blind and trapping you helplessly under the 'freedom' banner.
It's infuriating to see from outside. Mostly because very few stand up, and others are even willing to stop the few.
Yes, yes they do. It's constantly a hot topic, several States have created registries for ownership, FOID cards to track who's buying what, and some politicians even want to serialize everything. On top of what they've already banned.
They're robbing plenty of people, agreed, and doing so incrementally so it's not really perceived. I get that.
But then yes, you threaten many who believe "it's a God-given right to own a firearm" and speak about it going away, people would start to take action.
