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.

Fuck Martha Stewart too
People don't realize that "insider trading" isn't fucking over a corporation, it's fucking over everyone that's invested and doesn't get the tip off.
People's retirement/pension and all types of other shit are tied up in random companies like this.
Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn't need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.
She's a psychopath.
As far as I can see from the documentary she was getting on a plane to go on vacation and her broker called her and advised selling $40,000 worth of some stock and she said ok.
Nope:

That still seems like it's more on the broker than her
