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.

Where the hell did all that time go?

Fun Fact: I was the very first person who discovered a back masked subliminal message on Tool's "10,000 Days" album and my video got sum 100k views which was insane for that time in youtube history. Whenever Tool finally released their discography on streaming platforms, I got a copyright strike and it was taken down. fuckers.

100k views adjusted for inflation? And you didn't parlay that into a "career" as an influencer? So much potential, wasted.

112k AkChuUhLee. (I had to look it back up) I've been a career Tool fan but that's as far as I've ever gotten. I'm where I want to be tho. And this way, I won't need to make a fake crying apology video.

It's sad that your video was taken down since it looks like someone posted a video about the subliminal message three months later, in December 2008, and it's still up. (I won't post it in case it's you - I don't want to dox you.) Maybe this person posted a follow up crying apology, though.

it's not me. I have been carrying around that resentment towards them for many years now. Front line get the spear, or so it's said.

Thank you for your service. Just as in real life (in the US), no parting gift for you.
