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.

I could not remember what his name was until I finally got a chance to look it up. "Danny McPhee" was one of the names that kept popping into my head during that time, so enjoy that thought...

Maybe it's her son, grown up, and cursed with the same "magic" that makes his visage mirror the attitude of the people under his charge.

And he works as a middle manager at a Walmart.

I actually know a Dan McPhee.

He's there when you really don't want him to be but when you want him he'll be lying in his own vomit on that burger king parking lot.

I would go see it for sure. Would love to see the reveal at the end where he's actually very handsome, wearing a wife beater and jorts.
