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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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 once laid off two chicks at the same time
Fuckin' A, man.
No not a man, two chicks
When I was 16 I got laid off by a 72 year old lady who ran the local fish and chip shop. In my defence I was drunk at the time
I not only got laid off hard, but they actually PAID ME for it afterwards. Guess I'm just that good.
Getting laid off sucks, getting laid on rules
Being laid-up also not so great
Being laid into? Personal preference.
Just wait until you try a long layover.
Probably better than a rushed layover
But getting laid down is good!
Are you talking about someone taking a shit on you?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Phrasal verbs are the bane of english language learners. It's one of the weird things that natives speakers don't notice until they are mentioned by someone learning english or they become an english major.
Wipe out, mull over, look up to. These are just some of the phrasal verbs you want to think over.
Maybe it's because there's been so much cross pollination of the two languages meaning they have structural similarities, or maybe it's just because the other language does it in a way that is somehow more innately simple. But I have not found French phrasal verbs to be very difficult at all, as an English speaker. The most common ones are "avoir ____ de quelque chose", "to have ____ of something". "Avoir besoin de", "avoir peur de", which are "to have need of" (to need) and "have fear of" (to be afraid of, or to fear). Also "avoir faim" and "avoir soif", which are "to have hunger" and "to have thirst" (to be hungry, to be thirsty).
I was laid off over email and ghosted after the owner agreed to keep me on as an hourly freelance consultant.
I won't name the company but, fuck you AEI. And fuck all of your pussies who ruin lives via text message.
Fuck. You
eh about the same your still getting fucked
