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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Congrats, how many years are you sober?

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All my life

Born again huh.

Oh, so you don't like it when other drink then?

Edit: that's literally the response my buddy gets every single time it comes up, every single time without fail, even from other people who don't drink.

Haha yeah it’s weird how NOT drinking is weird. I couldn’t care less what other people do, nor what they think of me; drinking is just no longer appealing to me

No idea why you got downvoted so bad, I guess I did have the benefit of your edit when I read your reply.

Right?

I mean, you teach yourself to drink something that tastes rotten. It impairs your ability to think and accomplish basic tasks. It increases your risk for legal trouble. It can make you vomit and sick the next day. It damages your internal organs, and it costs a ton. Finally, it traps you into needing it.

Yet, it's the people who DON'T do it who are weird?

Water on top!

I understand most of your point, you do you. But tastes rotten? Only my really bad batches of homebrew have truly tasted rotten. There are many delicious alcohols!

[–] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago

It tastes rotten because it is rotten.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 29 points 10 months ago

What the fuck?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 10 points 10 months ago

No sir. Sounds like your projecting, are you uncomfortable that I don't drink alcohol?

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago
