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.

In elementary school I was doing a paper on Al Capone and there was the section with his early days which included "like every young boy he liked jerking off."

Most likely true, though the sources were missing.

Is it bad that I didn't know masturbation was a thing until AFTER I had already had sex? My girlfriend was like "Why are your loads always so massive??? How often do you jerk off???"

And I was like ".....what do you mean by jerk off?"

This says... something.... about you. But I couldn't tell you what.

One of those ditzy but attractive types, perhaps?

Upvoted for calling me attractive!

D'awww!
