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.

Because that would be a lust potion.

Unless you mean literally any other kind of potion? In which case I would recommend either The Nutty Professor or Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.

I mean, it could also be a "like" potion.

You drink the potion and everyone you meet just kind of likes you.

Of course, if it goes wrong, then everyone you meet likes you a little bit too much. And that's when you would need that restraining order potion sprunt mentioned.

If it was a “like” potion, then it wouldn’t be a “love” potion.

It could be a "like like" potion.

And if it were disguised as a “like” potion it would be a like look-alike like-like potion.

Is that where these guys come from?
