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:
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.
Here's a photo of a drained canal in the UK which really highlights just how shallow they are.
If someone was pushed in, the worst thing that'd happen is them being mildly annoyed.
Hmmm u forget how fucking cold they are, as well as there potentially being hard/sharp rocks, weeds to get your feet tangled in. Not denying there are many far easier ways of kicking the bucket, but it aint impossible, especially if the person in question is frail or has an illness of some kind. They could also panic if they cant swim and start splashing around and put themselves in more bother.
Can't swim? Not an issue since the water in a canal is still and only waist deep. There's no need to even try to swim.
What if u fell in head first and/or hit ur head on the freezing cold bottom?
This has to be one of dumb things someone's said right before they drowned in a puddle in their front yard.
You're not perceiving the picture correctly, the stub-looking thing on the left for docking is around a foot high. The side of the canal is at least 4 feet and the middle at least 7 feet deep. Mobile camera lens do not give adequate perception, as such, like with taking a photo of the moon.
There are also canals that aren't this shallow. As summer lasts on average five minutes, anybody falling into one is more likely to wear thick layers of clothes, which is a problem when they're getting wet. Most British people are also probably under the influence when they fall into a canal. Or children. And you can drown in a puddle.
Dudes been hot on the trail of the canal mystery for weeks.
Water, how does it work?
This is the fellow obsessed with chavs for some reason.
I commented on the last canal questioning but that post got deleted. I'm assuming it's the same person since this is such a specific topic.
Oh we back on this shit again?
You can drown in a couple inches of water. 3 feet deep is almost 20 times as much depth as you'd need to drown.
