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.

If she was microwaved for just a bit more she'd look EXACTLY like Trump's mommy.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think she'd also need to grab a high-voltage line a bit to get the same hairdo.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Odd that she has such an odd hairstyle and Trump just goes for something so banal and normal.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Every time I see this image of his mother I can’t help getting the vibe that she was exceptionally cruel and manipulative.

[–] deft@lemmy.wtf 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

She literally looks like the most evil women. The kind that pinches babies and calls servers "the help"

That family sure has odd hair.

Bad taste might be genetic. Nah, it's all nurture.

I don't know how good of a human being Susie Wiles is. Probably not much to write home about given that she sees nothing wrong in playing a part in this fascist shitshow. But in fairness, I know nothing about her.

What I do know is that she looks furiously like a primary school teacher I had who terrorized us kids for years, and was eventually conveniently "relocated" by the school board because she didn't in fact like children and was so damn cruel. She had such an impact on me I still remember her decades later.

And Susie Wiles gives me the creeps each time I see her face.

Playing a part? She's the white house chief of staff. That's position people call the co-president. She's not playing a part, she's calling the plays.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

She's a career politician with ties to a lot of GOP shitstains like DeSantis and Rick Scott. She's helped them all get elected, which means A) She's good at her job, and B) She's rotten to the core. Personally, I hope she dies before I'm done typing this, but I'll also settle for shortly after I'm done.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 6 points 3 days ago

You might get what you wish for. Apparently karma is catching up with her.

[–] prex@aussie.zone 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

JFC it looks like he fucked Margret Thatchers rotting corpse.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

And used a whipped cream spray can to apply her haircut.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Word is she slept her way to the top. We already know Trump is in diapers. You do the math.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I will never look down on someone who sleeps their way to the top. It's not like the top of full of the most talented, hard working, elite people. It's not like they deserve to be there. They're a bunch of nepo baby, narcissist, psychopath, assholes. Fuck them. And if you can make a buck while fucking them, great. Fuck them harder.

If someone successfully "slept their way to the top" then they actually (sort of) worked their way up.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

If the right hates trans people so much, then why is that second picture a picture of trump with a wig and lipstick.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 3 days ago

JFC I always forget how much she looks like parchment that's been crumpled and smoothed out repeatedly.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

She looks like she can call in a coup or genocide nonchalantly whilst sipping tea. And yes, she works in the upper levels of the US admin so I know she's a hellbound beast and an enemy of humanity but even if I didn't know anything about her I'd think her face gives "evil vibes".

[–] kboos1@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Giving me smug bitch vibes

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

Why do the Drumpfs have Simpsons hair?

[–] brem@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Trump's mommy looks he went back in time and had a kid with himself during one of his many visits to that island, and then she gave birth to himself.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Apparently Trump's mum was a lovely lady. But Trump's asshole of a father wouldn't let her raise her sons.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 11 points 3 days ago

Imma need a reliable source to back that up.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Except Mallory was genuinely a talented spy.

[–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Yet, she was just as bad of a parent!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

And Arrested Development. Such great characters. Except they were actually likeable in a weird way.

Ummm, clearly Trump hires everyone based on bang ability.

He has spent fucking showing off.
