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.

Sucking your own dick feels a lot more like sucking dick than getting your dick sucked.

You guys can't suck you own dicks?

Look, guy has grown a tail!

It's prehensile, so more like an elephant's trunk than a tail. But let me tell you, it's expensive with tailors and I'm really careful and nervous around closing doors. Don't get me started with elevators.

I don't know. I think if we could all do that we'd just have new problems, like never leaving the house.

Already happening though.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You don't have to do it in your home.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Seems impolite to do it in public.

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 hours ago

Some men can do that. Go ahead and ask them if they are that much happier.

I thought it was self-censoring for no fucking reason.

EDIT: Never mind, sounds like it's a parental feature on their device.

Maybe it's your instance, but it censored "dicks".

[–] ZiggyTheZygote@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Oh it's the family phone, there's a feature on it that censors bad words, stupid mom put it. God.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 2 points 3 hours ago

Ohhh, that makes a lot more sense!

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Yep, removing sexuality from humans would remove a lot of challenges.

(Also some positives. Don't quote me on this)

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I can suck my own dick by getting a tube just big enough for my penis to fit in and long enough to reach my mouth. 🤷‍♂️

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, like finding out you could didn't fuck anybody up...
