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.

Some humans actually do this

Plenty of humans desperately want this

God I would genuinely kill you be able to do this. I don't think I will ever be fully comfortable in my body and I doubt this would fix it but atleast I could just keep things changing.

I know it's a typo, but it brings a level of personal aggression to the phrase that completely changes the meaning and I love it.

It's not just that "I would kill (somebody) for that", it's "I would kill you for that"

I hope you find a way to be more comfortable though!

Yup totally a typo Lmao. Will leave it because it is funny though.

Nah just own it. You only need to kill this one person to obtain your shapeshifter dreams!

Admit it, "I'd say sorry but I'd still pull the trigger." 😁
