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:

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.

But I had a little panic when it was Billy Joel for the first 15 seconds.

I usually ask for silence for the same reason, better to try just close eyes and meditate/dissociate through it. Was your head inside the machine? Pretty claustrophobic either way, but head first is particularly not nice.

Yeah, I was head first but I'm OK with confined spaces. The little bullseye right in front of my eyes was a little weird though.

Hah, I forgot about the bullseye. I have one of my brain, I was hoping to find a way to convert the images to a model so I could 3D print it, but didn't find a good way to convert it sadly.

hopefully your scan shows nothing serious, and you get some cool pictures :)

It's back problems caused by a lifetime of labor. Next is CT to show the squishy bits. I personally don't think I'll get out of this without surgery but if like one dose of cortisol does it I'm down. Just don't want to be on that subscription plan where I have to get the injections twice a year.

Thanks for the good thoughts.
