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.

This is what you said a bit above.
This is what you are saying now:
These two statements contradict. Were you an adult at the time or in middle school?
If you say you weren't a flash developer, then why include that statement above, except to give yourself an air of fake authority as you did in the whole rest of the comment above where you tried to tell me that you are a great big adult, super old, and I am a child.
If you became an adult in the mid 10s, then you are younger than me, kiddo.
There were plenty of tools to make 2D animation even before 2012. You just know your one single little tool and that's all you know. Congratulations.
Heck, yes, even HTML+JS was for making 2D animations in 2010, because that was what I did back then. It was super easy, and as long as you didn't target IE with Vanilla JS, it was really really easy.
Also:
So how much time is between "mid 10s" and 2015?
I was avoiding my pending messages for fear of what bullshit you replied. I wish I waited longer.
Only if you're ignorant, or willfully misinterpreting.
I learned flash animation in middle school.
I was still doing it as a hobby as a young adult.
I learned development in college.
My use of flashmx gives me an idea of how difficult flash animation was.
My career of development gives me an idea of how difficult doing JavaScript animation is.
I was an adult, in the career of software dev, and a hobby of flash animation, when flash died.
If you think that tools for web animation without flash were so easy in the mid-10s, then show some proof. Link me to a tutorial. I can link you to a flash tutorial if you want.
Actually never mind, I'm done with your ignorant bullshit. You've gotten me to waste too much time on your absolute nonsense.
Apparently you were neither a great flash dev nor a great software dev, but just someone who talks a lot.
Being offensive doesn't make your point any more correct.
Apparently you can't read, so we both have things we need to work on 🤷
When you have no valid argument, become offensive.
