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’s like OP has never heard of morticians.

Yeah, we are actually removing them and return to the families in a separate package.

Source - I made this up for your entertainment.

Yeah I definitely don't not regret that I didn't decide to not not read that comment.

I choose to believe your fib because the thought of grieving families keeping granny's fake tits next to her ashes on the mantlepiece is too funny.

It's not only funny, it also stabilizes the mantelpiece during an earthquake and prevents the urn from toppling over.

They stay with the corpse as far as I'm aware. There's a mortician on IG who answers questions and I'm pretty sure this was one of them.

Imagine they take them out and dispose of them separately, and some dude finding out at the open casket that his wife was packing fakes for their entire marriage and being outraged.

It's like a bad sitcom plot.

Did you ever watch Session 9?

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Never even heard of it until now. Did I accidentally steal a plot-point from it? lol

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Sort of, but it's a stretch on my part. The premise of the movie is that some people have been hired to clean an abandoned psychiatric hospital and, well, some things go wrong.

At some point one of the cleaners finds the crematorium and collects various leftovers from it. That's the extremely tenuous connection I was making.
