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.

How do I post a photo in comments? New here due to Reddit ban.
You're asking the wrong person. Due either to my client, or my instance, I get, like, a 20% success rate on attaching images. Most of the time I get an error.
On my client, there's a little picture icon. When I click that, it lets me select a picture and, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and the stars align, the picture is embedded. Otherwise, I upload to catbox.moe and manually embed the URL. The markdown syntax for an embedded image is:
On desktop, you can just paste it.
You can do markdown, so
If you’re using voyager you can just copy and paste and it will handle it, usually, assuming your instance has image uploads enabled.
I’m on Mlem, seems easier to navigate.
I know mlem just got a new update, so I can’t comment on that BUT I can say that always come back to voyager.
It’s as close to the Apollo Reddit client as there is (as far as I’m aware)
I’ve been playing around with the different options, Mlem isn’t bad. Voyager’s interface was a little all over the place for me.
I use Jerboa client on Android. It feels very much like the Reddit is Fun app.
There are rich text buttons at the bottom of the new post field. One is a photo icon, click that and it takes you to your photo/file browser to select a pic.
Here's a pic I took of Earth's bff, la Luna.
i usually just have the picture in my clipboard and then ctrl+v. it should be uploaded and the markdown link added for you
I love your username, my WiFi name is prettyflyforawifi
Appreciate it. I’m on mobile, but I think I figure it out.
