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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

The titles like that are dumb as hell. It has nothing to do with being asexual or not. I take after all types, and still find myself wanting to slap them silly.
If you look, you'll notice that certain accounts don't do it. Those are the good ones, the old school gachos that just like to show themselves off and sometimes chat with the weirdos wanting to look at them.
The other ones, you'll find, all have onlyfans links in their account infos. They spam the same picture to multiple communities, even if it's not really a 'fit' for them, and always reply in the most idiotic manner. Like, no, you're not lonely, and you're not getting with anyone in these comments, so stop pretending like that's what you want in your title or post body.
I vehemently disagree with the other people in this thread on being nice to those ones. Be nice to the real ones, who aren't simply baiting, but call out the idiocy with the bad faith posters. There was one a while ago on /deepthroat, for example, that put in her title that she was practicing her deepthroating, and goddamnit, you aren't practicing for deepthroating by doing a little suckle motion on just the tip of a tiny dildo.
It's the simpering of a child pandering for compliments, the same energy as any kiddo thinking they won't get told off by their mother just because they also were pitiable squalidly sitting in the ruins of their own failure. tell them off just like you would a child.
This is a really amusing comment to read. and paragraph 4 had me lol IRL.
I do what I can, and by what I can, I mean deepthroating 10" horse dildos. That's why that particular post made me grumpy.
Looking at the comments of so many of those accounts also scream, alt/bot accounts to go along with their generic copy paste answer to the most inane 2 word posts.
My best guess is that they are usually 'managed' accounts, where someone is paid a pittance to post the pictures and try to farm engagement so that the accounts get more traffic. I'm sure by now there are automated systems for it, but I know back when lemmynsfw was just beginning, there was at least one account that openly stated it was being managed by someone, with a link to the onlyfans account AND the management services.
