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.

I know exactly how you feel😂

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

I sometimes write something that might be controversial, so unless I have a lot of free time I don't open Lemmy at all, lol.

I know what I said, y'all's angst feeds me.

This would all be easier if you all just agreed with me, the always correct person.

If I'm ever wrong. I delete that comment and pretend it didn't happen. Or if someone actually makes a good counter argument I just go "meh, don't feel like replying" and leave them unread. I do the worst crime. I'll be 10 replies in and I won't even downvote their last comment to let them know I read it. I'm sure it's infuriating.

I got the last comment! I won!

My first thought is always "Must be Nicole the Fediverse chick again" 😂

[–] xor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 12 hours ago

Find hot Nicoles in your local Fediverse!

Half the time you just have to say "Fuck Tankies" or "Vote DNC" and you'll get 4, 10, or even 20 of the most cookie cutter responses you've ever seen in your life.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That's an awfully asymmetric expectation of effort!

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago

Depends on how good the opponent's automation is.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 7 points 16 hours ago

I'm pretty excited to see and check what gained traction

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Usually its when I either offend the libs on world or the fake leftists on ml/hexbear. Sometimes if I'm particularly skilled I piss off both of them at the exact same time (usually by advocating for true liberation for the working class not under a so called "vanguard" but by and for the workers themselves)

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BENT OVER BY BIGFOOT WHEN EXPLORING THE WOOD AND MISTAKEN FOR A MATE. THEN LEFT THERE LAYING OUT LIKE A WET SPAGHETTI NOODLE! THIS IS HOW IT FEELS DRIVING A FORD F150!

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

[–] DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Hahahahaaa I didn’t know which to use but totally

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

I assume the right-wing propaganda planners have decided they need to counter something I said

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I'm too scared to check tbh. Somebody tell me if I am getting downvoted because I see 150 unreads

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I got mine today after a year on Lemmy. I was starting to feel left out.

Most of the time I know exactly what I'm getting if I see more than maybe 3+ comments. Usually it's me saying something anti-communist, something on brand enough for me.

Me is, how stoned was I.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I just assume I said something factually wrong and now dozens of helpful people are lining up to correct me.

[–] xye@lemm.ee 5 points 18 hours ago

Ah, I see you’ve developed a humiliation fetish as well
