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.

Absolutely.
But also, you've got me thinking, sausages are pretty old. Romans had them. They also had mustard, rolls and flatbreads. A Roman could have watched a chariot race while eating, essentially, a hot dog in the stands. Maybe even a beer too, if they liked Egyptian imports.
What makes me mad about this is it was probably better tasting than anything you can get in modern stadiums
Ah, but the Romans also invented the profit margin. For instance, they also made hamburgers in front of the colosseum (I read an article about this a dozen years ago). The advantage of ground meat is that you can mix other stuff into it, when nobody is looking.
