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.

So you only take it when you absolutely have to instead of OD'ing because cough syrup tastes good.

dimetap (from what I could find) used DXM, which is exactly what people use for robotripping, but "sizzurp" (lean) in modern times refers to codeine. Funnily enough, og lean was beer mixed with dxm.

It's an entirely different class from opiates though, and if you really need it, robocough apparently still make tablets to avoid the nastiness of syrups.

Oh fuck beer with dxm would taste awful and feel so weird.

I accidentally had a bit too much dxm attempting to be functional enough to work. Wild experience

Would you say it's like having your limbs behave with claw machine logic? lol

I was only mildly feeling it, but yeah that sounds like what a lot too much would feel like. Definitely interesting feeling, I get why people might reach that point for the novelty. Kinda like a weed body high with a clearish mind from what I remember
