    Thousands of years ago, when tools were very primitive, it was probably common to have a favorite rock.

          The 70s will remain thirty years ago until the day I die.

            That '70s Show aired in 1998, 22 years after 1976, when it was set.

            1998 was 27 years ago.

    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

    1. All posts must be showerthoughts
    2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
    3. 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
    4. Posts must be original/unique
    5. 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.
