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.

It actually isn't about anything. They just thought it sounded cool af. And they are correct.

But I also think about this with Come Together by the Beatles. It's just Lennon talking about getting bukkaked by the rest of the band. "Cum together, right now... Over me!"

I got banned from a local music night.

Apparently 'Come On Eileen' was a song request...

It actually isn’t about anything

I always thought it was about track marks but I like this option better.

Norah Jones’ “Don’t know why” is about a depressed person who can’t cum while they have sex on the beach.
