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.

Edit: I do not understand why I am getting downvoted here? It should be fairly obvious that this is not a sexual thing? Do people disagree with it being beautiful?

I think you're still allowed to do this without being a dad without it being creepy, FYI. I hope you didn't throw your life away on children just to be able to do this because you thought it made you look like a creep otherwise! I mean, that would be crazy right?

EDIT: Thinking further on this-- Like, only a creep would admit that misplaced sexual energy, right? I mean, I've never looked at a woman breastfeeding a child and wanted to jerk it.

EDIT2: To be fair, if she were breastfeeding two other hot women or dudes or whatever. Adults. Doing adult play fetish things. I'd probably jerk it. But like, those streams shouldn't cross, yo.

Haha, just a bonus being able to watch my wife breastfeed our child. It's so cozy

Please bring her a glass of water and a snack. It is cozy, but she cant move, please be her arms lol

[–] ComradePenguin@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I always bring her a small towel, a clean pacifier, some wet towels, and often some tea and/or snacks.

And thanks so much for answering from the 13yo segment of the crowd, right? That certainly always helps with complex matters like these, right? XD

Lol... the replies are pretty savage on this one. Could it possibly be because of OP's instance?
