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.

there is a point where you needed to have stopped gooning, and you have gone far beyond that.

You're allowed to find the boy elves hot, it's okay

That actually wasnt my point XD           

But i will still take being alleowed to be straight           

(my thought was that other spezies in books just accept humans misidentifing them as its favorable to have a "man" in normally men dominated worlds for the gender paygap and other reasons)

Still means Legolas has a vagina. I'm 👌 with that.

The male elves look like garden gnomes. That's why Tolkien said the Noldor were also called gnomes in the first edition of The Hobbit.
