I'll make sure to try crying tomorrow in the hopes that my tools magically appear on the jobsite.

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.

No, I'm just compensating for my tiny penis.
According to Ancient Greek philosophers a tiny penis was a sign of huge intelligence and self control. Hence, people with small cars try to compensate for their huge penis.
Car /= huge truck
Also, there are many trucks that aren't huge.
What
I'm really high right now and that’s what I thought about in the shower.
Felt like I need to share my wisdom
Valid shower thought.
No, you don’t understand. This next huge truck is going to be the one to complete me. Just one more, and then I’ll stop.
But what if I need to haul something big? Crying ain't gonna help me there
Did you know you can rent really big trucks, designed to haul really big things?
So, rent a truck every day? That makes sense.
Lol I mean I'd you're hauling stuff every day it would make sense to lease or own a hauling truck.
I wonder if crying will pull a boat for me.
Yeah, this doesn't track.
I have issues in this category and I didn't buy a vehicle. Infact I don't even drive.
Congratulations on figuring out all men, everywhere, oh sagacious one.
Building and racing cars make dopamine go brrrrrr. And when it breaks down you'll cry anyways. 🤷
i mean this is true in some cases, but out where I live if you dont own a truck or have somebody in your house that owns a truck its going to be a massive pain in the ass just maintaining your property. it may be hauling supplies from tractor supply or trying to remove a bunch of scrap metal from a field or even just getting to the places you need to when the water table is so high that you could dig a well by stomping too hard, but you need to at least have access to one.
