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.

If you say "I can't wait for him to die" and the whole world thinks of the same person, it's probably pretty damn bad

He's so stupid that you even know who I mean when I say "he's so stupid".

I have started looking for restaurants for when Trump dies, at the moment I have been looking at the best Greek restaurants, but I'll make a spreadsheet with options and pick on the day.

pick on the day.

Yeah, making a reservation several days beforehand would probably raise a couple red flags 😁

Not like you have to specify "I'm making this reservation to celebrate Trump's death" though

Hopefully, it happens on a Tuesday. If so, I'm doing Taco Tuesday 😂. Specifically, the Doritos Locos Tacos from Taco Bell because they're orange.

Hey, any day can be a Taco Tuesday if you want it to be. Especially if the taco in question is himself the kind that changes things names on a whim. You could have 7 or more Tuesdays per week for all I care.

Fucking brilliant

I'm finding someone who set up a tent on the side of the road making street tacos and ordering all the lengua and cabeza tacos they have.

On the flip side. Let him stay long enough to destroy his movement.

Yeah, he's doing tons of damage to it right now. When he dies they're going to try to whip the cult into a frenzy, so the more that can be disillusioned before he croaks, the better.

Kirk was a test run

Don't bring Melania into this.
