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.

Why are you posting this as if it was your original idea?

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Wow great thought, I havent heard it seventeen times this week, very original and very cool!

Wow, great criticism, Potty McKettleblack.

Tangerine Palpatine is a close second to Mango Mussolini, well done.

[–] WaffleStomper@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Mango Mussolini is also really good.

If I have to read about this stupid acronym one more time… All it does is perpetuate the story of his stupid lake nicknaming crusade. What’s shameful is how much attention it’s getting instead of the fact that Trump rapes children and fucks the poor and the troops. We can’t keep talking about every little thing he does and how batshit it is. When do we talk specifically about how fucking batshit the man is?

Seriously. Ooh look. It spells shame. That will stop them.

They took away Mary's Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas (what they taught us in eastern Tennessee) a decade ago. Nothing is sacred.

Please use his real name so this noise gets caught in my content filters.

Canada can rename Lake Erie to Lake America thus making the names, as a means of identification, useless.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If they'd do that they should go with Lake Americest. Double meaning, with "est" meaning the most, and "cest" because Donald Trump raped his own daughter in her penthouse bedroom as a child.

"Lake Trump-Epstein"

[–] radix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Does this mean the next President can rename Florida to Trump-Epsteinland, and Texas to KidKillerKopsia?
