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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Not that people having already heard them has ever stopped me from re-telling them anyway.

We saved you from being interred

Now you're out eating a turd

I yell but you are undeterred

Came up with that in the shower on Monday. We recently adopted an eight year old golden retriever with severe anxiety issues who was scheduled to be put down.

Her old dad died a couple of years ago and she never got over it. My wife Amy (double bonus song reference, although she doesn't appreciate me renaming her song) thought giving her a hard reset in a new home might work.

And it has, she is fantastic, and even my cats like her.

We were all prepared for an anxious dog and got standard Labrador problems instead!

I’ve always considered that texting “hehe” is a light chuckle, a “heh heh” sound; “hehehe” is more of a giggle, whether coy or creepy; and any more “he”s than that delves into witchy cackling territory.

In contrast “haha”, “hahaha”, and “hahahaha”, all sound the same in my head, and the meaning only varies in intensity but is more context dependent.

'Oh, you didn't want me to put my tongue in your ear and grab you by the p***y? But it is CLEARLY stated in page 964 of our agreement that I'd do so!!'

'Just tap "OK" for our 533 trusted partners to legally stalk you for over a year'

Just some random thoughts on lemmymaxxing 😆

Because they chose words and sounds purely based on whether they sounded pretty.

Obviously this is a crazy idea and noone should do it, but if a prediction market let you bet on what day someone would die, someone could insider trade the market by placing a big bet on the day they go and assassinate them. People could place bets on random days for people they don't like to push up the value of the winning bets.

If we can't stop them now, maybe just be a pain in the ass.

Example:

"So, are you gonna join us for the party tonight?"

flashback sequence to getting bullied a lot in school

"Um... no thanks!"

Or it could be for more serious thing like war and the backstory of dictators.

What if Nanni was the kind of person that complains that the Great Sand Dunes National Park is too sandy, and we have the complaint (presumably found in his house) because Ea-Nasir kept it to remind himself never to do business with Nanni again.

With high speed internet coming out at exactly the same time as my sex drive developed, I have probably seen more nude women than every human in my direct ancestry.

If not combined, I definitely have the high score for now.

As opposed to the northern/southern hemisphere that has:

  • a clear reference point (equators)
  • traditionally we don’t model a rotation north/south

Western/eastern hemisphere

  • doesn’t have a clear reference (Greenwich?)
  • traditionally we model rotation on the north/south axis so western/eastern would depend from the time

Not sure if this goes here, but you ever wake up and wonder if your the bad guy in your life? even if you have done like nothing wrong.
