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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

You really didn't have to hit post on this one, yeesh

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 60 points 1 year ago

The people have a right to know

*repost this one

I had seen this many-a-time on Reddit (it’s a site that’s like Lemmy but shittier)

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Your correction doesn't make sense, there's no repost button.

meme of a confused grandma saying you really didn't have to hit repost this one

But yeah, I've seen this on Reddit few years ago.

I just woke up and you chose to share this with me.

[–] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Now imagine if they were kissing each others buttholes.. its an infinite loop

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think topologists call it a torus.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

proctologists call it an anus

If each human has 7/8 openings . Two humans kissing have 14-16 openings .. you basically have a bagpipe!

Update: 12-14 available openings.. we lose two for the kissing.

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe it's because I haven't had coffee yet, but could you do the math for me? 12-14 doesn't seem right.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Male 7: 1 mouth, 2 nostrils, 2 ears, 1 anus, 1 urethra

Female 8: 1 mouth, 2 nostrils, 2 ears, 1 anus, 1 urethra, 1 vagina

Male/Male Kissing : 7+7-2: 12 openings

Male/Female Kissing: 7+8-2: 13 openings

Female/Female Kissing: 8+8-2: 14 openings

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But if we are going by topology logic the vagina isn't a true hole it's caped by the womb init so it's at most a cave

[–] HessiaNerd@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ears terminate at the eardrum

Urethra terminates at the bladder.

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a tube connecting your ears to your mouth and urine has to make it from your digestion to bladder

Got it. I thought you meant 12-14 openings each, and I was arguing semantics to myself about what could possibly be considered "openings" to make the number that big.

Also, kissing while having anal sex is sucking your own dick through a straw.

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's cool, but the best trick is kissing during vaginal sex and blowing down her throat to get a nice warm breeze across your balls.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

I think I've had enough internet for today.

Thanks for that.

Saw this question on reddit that I thought was a joke but has haunted me ever since.

Are we donuts?

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

From an evolutionary standpoint, yeah, we're donuts or tubes. It was either that or cups. Those creatures, like sea anemones eat and expel, erm, waste out of the same hole.

An example of a fellow tube is a sea cucumber

[–] MinusPi@yiffit.net 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Topologically, a human has 7 holes.

Topologists say the darnest things.

[–] pwalshj@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why I cut out the middle-man and kiss that asshole.

With enough yoga and practice if you kiss your own ass, you'll rupture space time continuum and create a point of singularity.

How many men connecting their penises into their butts would it take to form a complete circle?

[–] Rineloi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (4 children)

According to this , I would say it's about nine.

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes the good ol' days. Just people living in the moment. Not a cellphone in sight.

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There are 10 people in the picture

[–] Rineloi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but there is always one guy that is slacking in group projects

My organs have valves on them, so this doesn't apply to me.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Thanks internet, I missed ya

[–] snowstorm@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

so when you kiss your anus becomes a mouth. there's a a south park episode in there somewhere

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

Flip one of those bad boys around and baby, you've got a centipede going!

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 8 points 1 year ago

I want to subscribe to your newsletter.

[–] wabafee@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the insight. Now I will always think of this when I see people kiss.

[–] palitu@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

I laughed more than I am proud. The wife says that it is disgusting. I agree

[–] moshtradamus666@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I don't like this

[–] moipe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about when two human-centipedes kiss?

[–] bstix 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If one human centipede kisses its own ass it'll be an infinite loop.

[–] Iamdanno@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago

It becomes a torus.
