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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Too late. I told my wife I wouldn't use it again because it wasn't the greatest, but don-ju-wan-me-baby?

For me it was just getting in first so I didn't have to add numbers.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tbh, my first thought was to use my old one. Then I really went for a fresh start, and actually I like this one better.

Listen, RUMPLEFORESKIN is not embarrassing, OK? I just didn't want my kids asking about it. Jeeeeze.

[–] PeckerBrown@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Too late for that.

[–] ItWasntMe@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I definitely took the time to make sure I was more incognito this time around. 🤣

I don't even watch wrestling. Just the idea of an elbow drop is hilarious to me. Like the rocks people elbow.

I actually did watch a WWE thing on Hulu recently. I made it about 22 min. They took a commercial break during the match.

Technically you can have any username you would ever like, just spin up your own instance!

I'm surprised I got this!

[–] Doesnotexist@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I didn't exist before, and I still don't. I have never existed, and I never will.

[–] crocswithsocks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I like my new user name.

[–] smh@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm happy with my new username.

Not embarrassing but I had a pretty unimaginative username and always felt I could have done better. Lemmy gave me a chance to have a kickass username… and I squandered it by feeling too much pressure and writing whatever came to my mind first in the prompt :(
