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.

The Aliens might also be animals, you know?

They could also be fungi, or bacteria. Or just straight up zucchini

All the more reason for them to judge out kinks

Yes they do ... it's called Pornhub

Turns out that aliens had it easy from the very start ... whenever they needed info or intel on human beings, human lives, even human samples ... all they had to do was to entice them with sex or kinks or some sort of weird fetish or something

All the aliens had to do was do a couple of anal probs, and that would automatically give them access to several hundred or thousands of humans that automatically became interested in this specific fetish and would just come looking for the aliens without even having to be asked or coerced.

Joke's on them, I'm vanilla AF.

Not just cameras... Probes👽😮

[–] Hotrod54chevy@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Or, they can abduct people and anyone who says they were abducted will be called crazy? 🤔

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Of course they do! Where do you think birds come from? Or do you really think they are real?

Birds are just Jabberjays

[–] zout@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

That's my fetish...

Try sun is the flash the universe is a camera

We are inside a black hole being observed.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

I suspect they'll just stop bothering with the surveillance and go straight for reality tv and internet porn, much more telling of us as a whole

[–] vane@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Animals know.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Sofons be like.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Some alien civilizations use light bulbs to film and listen to Humans. Those new LEDs are considered high definition. Just sayin'.

Here I was thinking they don't need to plant devices, they can just use advanced ways of watching our cameras/satellite imagery.

the lizard people be like

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

And the probes are actually just cameras they put up our rectum.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Those aliens will be vexed for sure!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, they are gonna notice the violence & greed too in terms that it impedes progress of the species & degrades the environment we depend on.

But butt-stuff too, yes, it's very popular on the galactic local sector news.
