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.

If you can see the penis, odds are you have already seen the feet, so there is no need to wonder.

Geez, people move quickly these days don't they. No mystery anymore.

Bring back gloryholes

Did you think of this because of the article about the guy who broke his arm due to his 14.5-inch penis?

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

What a weird coincidence. I broke a nail due to my 1.45-inch penis!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I pulled my back trying to measure my .145 inch penis.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Get well soon!

I read that in Senator Amidala's voice.

You're pointing at your balls, sir

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Might want to get these checked out.

[–] Soulcreator@programming.dev 9 points 3 days ago

I feel like more context is needed for those unfamiliar with the article.

Did it fall on him in his sleep?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 3 days ago

I've certainly said it as a joke.

While there might be a correlation, the guy that was packing the largest schmeat back in my army days was of average height and, IIRC, regular feet size. He was also shy and assuming, lol, and a sweetheart who brought his mom and little brother from Moldova to France on his little soldier salary. 👍

I do, sometimes you're watching porn and a dude just has a magnificent giant cock and quite often I wonder what size shoe they wear, but most the time I'm just admiring their massive cock.

What

Edit: oh it's reversing the "big feet -> big penis" thing. The reason is you usually know someone's feet size before you see their genetalia.

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

No, because there’s no correlation between the two

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 days ago

There's no need to yell.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The feets are growers not showers

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Like, you know when you are walking and suddenly they Hulk out and break your shoes? Man I hate foot-boners!

[–] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Every day! Never once does anyone comment about the size of my feet. You’d think people on the subway would be more observant.

I can hear this as a Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handy

We must hang out in very different circles then.
