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.

I wake up in Australia every morning and check the news wondering if any of the headlines are going to be the 2026 Assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.

I think WW3 may kick off within the next 3 weeks, when Trump attacks Greenland. Than again, he seems to be backing off on that threat

You too, huh. Either that or the Reichstachfeuer.

A show I watch on CNN was supposed to have its season premiere last night and didn't because of the execution in the street. I heard it's premiering tonight but I can't find any verification it is. I wonder how much more the chaos in the Untied States will continue to interfere with my TV. I know that's a selfish thing to think about, the bigger concern is that the fucking nazis are continuing to rise to power, man I just want this all to be over

Saturday morning implies it happens just once a week.

As if cartoons only happened on Saturday. They just save the good stuff for Saturday.

My memory was that the new episode of X-men would run on Saturday, but during the week they’d loop episodes previously run before the school bus arrived.

Every morning Donald J Trump wakes up, takes a shit and wipes his filthy pedophile ass with the constitution. Donald J Trump is a treasonous pedophile rapist piece of fucking shit and deserves to ______.

I'll leave the last bit as Mad Libs style, but we all know.

That would seriously be the funniest shit ever if he just old-man lost balance and fell to his death while waving to his sycophantic moron crouds...

Before or after shooting himself twice in the back of the head?

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

I’m willing to make a compromise. One before, one after.

Every morning, instead of pouring ourselves a bowl of cereal, we get a bowl of war crimes.
