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.

As an Icelander, the pronounciations of the nordic names in Marvel movies crack me up. Especially Bifrost (which they pronounce "bi-frost" instead of 'bif-rost", and Laufey (pronounced very differently, also a decidedly female name).

My vikings professor pronounced it “beef roast” which always made me chuckle

That is actually a lot closer to the Icelandic one, except the F sounds more like a V and -röst rhymes with bust.

The most popular VPN in China is called Astrill, and since vpn's and related discussions are forbidden, we refer to it as Ass Drill in messengers.

I'll assume you were washing your bum when you thought of this. At least your hygiene is good.

That is why the Marvel character Wiccan got his name changed from Asgardian.

I wonder which is a better product: the Assguard or the Anal Bum Cover?

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I see you have anal bum cover, but I think you'll find the penis mightier

You’ll rue the day you crossed me, Trebek.
