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

I removed the numbers from my username. Because I'm all grown up now.

My username is god honouring thank you very much

[–] Dalimey@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago

Look, I've had some form of this cringe-ass username for 20 years now, this is just part of who I am now.

It would have been excellent comedic timing of your username was something stupid like shitsmear69420 or onelongboob1978 or whatever!

(I swear to God, if I see either one of those user names lurking around here I'm going to poop a brick)

I still used numbers

I wouldn't enable 2fa yet either there are some bugs, and the code it generated for me didn't work and locked me out of my account for a good bit. I'm not sure why but the 2fa link didn't work for me so I copied the secret out of the url and put it in my authenticator but it never worked. Just fyi.

Meh, im too old to learn new patterns. Same username for me

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

see last time I thought other people were my problems ~12 years ago.

Now I just have people problems instead of like, homework problems, or computer problems, or car problems.

Wife cheats on me? People problem. My project a month an a half late because the previous project said "I dunno and gave up?" (haha you bastards could have written the exact same code im doing now three years ago) People problems.

Taxes? People problems. Family sick or injured or in surgery? People problems.

I should have taken a super short nick, but alas.

[–] Unabletomilk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Meh. It's not embarassing if the literature i'm exploring is totally ~~porn~~ not porn.

[–] Zelkova@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
