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.

Either way. They either were both not planned, both were or one might not have been. Not many people say, I can't wait, I hope I have twins. There are some tho, I went to high school with someone where twins ran in the family and they were excited to also have two different sets of them. But most of the time you are planning for one, and you are surprised when there are two in the womb. This should be a good thing but children would still try to guess and could fight about it, they can fight about anything. And sometimes names are picked out before even trying to have kids. One for a boy and one for a girl etc. unfortunately, it is the break up of the fight that perplexes me. "You were both planned/unplanned" gets nowhere. When someone starts trying there is no guarantee either way what will happen. What do you say? Sorry I wish I spoke Español.
