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.

Why do men sleep this way? I watch people sleep professionally and it's definitely a thing. It doesn't even appear to be sexual for the most part dudes just like...? instinctively...? sleep cupping their weens with one or both hands...? I would be fascinated to hear some AMAB perspectives on this.

No one has the energy to invent new ones first thing in the morning.

The part of my brain that was in control when I made this post.

[–] rollin@piefed.social 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Was it the part that's normally responsible for pooping?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

No. In general that part of my brain is given no responsibility.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 6 points 4 days ago

Because mornings suck

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 13 points 5 days ago

We have a bunch of ways for both though.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

DO we have a bunch of ways to say good night?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah.

Nighty night. Sleep Well. Sweet dreams.

Actually now I'm blanking

There's a Native American phrase that is a morning greeting, but it means "you survived the night"

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

"The suns awake so Im awake!" Is the most unhinged one ive experenced.

Carpe Diam

Otherwise most good mornings have the assumption that you will see them for the rest of day unlike sleep

"YOU ARE LATE FOR SCHOOL, YOU SHITHEAD! GET THE FUCK OUT OF BED NOW!"

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

We don’t, hope that helps

[–] rossman@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

I guess waking someone up is easy like yelling. Having someone go to sleep when they don't feel like it needs some finesse.
