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.

The moderator's opinion is better if the mod is deleting your racist comments.
OP's racist comment from the modlog, if you must read it:
Present an argument to support your accusation.
That isn't an argument.
There's no argument to be had, obviously. If you want one:
Racist shit is dumb. You acknowledge posting racist shit. Therefore you post dumb shit.
Then you concede the point and agree that your accusation is unarguable.
What point? All that's been presented is that you post racist shit. There's no argument, it's just a factual presentation. It's not a logical conclusion it's a basic premise.
I'm not going to hold your hand. Just lose gracefully.
As an instance admin, I’d ban you for this kind of behavior if I saw it in a report. You need to learn to read the room and not intentionally be inflammatory in every post.
Oh honey.
I think you just gave us a really good view to how you arrived at your racist beliefs.
Sweetheart,
You're nowhere near as clever as you think you are
Lose what?
Well, your own banned comment said you admit you feel "a bit" racist, so I know you are not asking me to present an argument that you're racist.
Are you.... asking me to present an argument that racism is wrong?
That isn't an argument.
It needn't be one.
