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.

I saw something the other day where they were discussing how if frodo swallowed the ring he wouldn't disappear because it is outside of him. As in your intestines and stomach are "outside your body" as they are essentially a tube feeding all the way through you. This reminded me of that for whatever reason.
Great way to smuggle it to Mordor. In the prison pocket
What's it gots in it's prison poketses precious
As the ring passes through his intestines, surely some poop will get inside the ring. Does the poop inside Frodo turn invisible then?
Ah, the age-old question that has been dogging all of science for centuries!
Can excrement weild the ring of power. Welcome to BuzzFeed where we've assembled 30 random people to figure out if it's possible.
I don't know about the RING of power, but excrement can clearly wield the offices of power 🤷
But the ring isn't inside you when you wear it on your hand.
The ring being inside/outside of you doesn't affect the ring's properties; it's whether you're inside or outside the ring.
Yes, the ring has to encompass part of you. Being that the ring is in a tube that is "outside you" it never would be encompassing you. Unless it got stuck somewhere and wrapped around your intestines
