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.

Reminds me of the story of the father/pastor who raped his daughter, and was given a slap on the wrist 60 day jail sentence for, according to the judge, being a "good christian man".

Which, like... what part of raping a child makes you a good christian man? Smells like to me the judges home PC probably has sexual images of children on it.

If you are rich.

Just landed a huge contract by following these rules. It is very sad but true.

Security. Preemptive though.

Just being rich seems to work pretty well.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I mean, compare the rich abusers in the Epstein files and the blue collar workers who raped Gisèle Pelicot. Who went to prison? Exactly.

Kash Patel is a fine fucking example.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 27 points 15 hours ago

What if you say, "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!" a lot? Does that count?

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 22 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

If only I could find someone who would pay me a lot of money to say "Jesus".

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The church figured it out. Get the money from poor people. Who would'a thought.

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus did say "send me your poor". Not sure what else he said. But he had to be making money somehow.

Bro had infinite bread, fish and wine cheat codes, he must have been making bank

Have you tried starting a cult?

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm afraid I'm not charismatic enough for that.

Might be an issue in Spanish speaking countries

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

You'd say Mary or the Madonna there instead.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You don't need any of that if you're not stupid enough to get caught. Maybe stop being stupid?

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I guess you have experience raping children and not getting caught then...

[–] Hoohoo@fedia.io 0 points 11 hours ago

Needs wiggle room. You won't get away with everything, but it's even money that you could.

For all we know, Trump was the mastermind behind Epstein vacations.
