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.

Dang. Missed it by . . . 6 hours.
Isn't that just graduating?
if being part of the state requires mandatory public schooling, and that mandatory participation has changed in 40 years to become more violent and bloody, and the state won't protect those required to be there, then those honors need to be spoken to at graduation.
The world has changed in US schools dramatically. I think that we need to let those affected be part of a highly visible group that could incite change in the future. What a voting block to appeal to for change.
I was just making a joke about how common school shootings tragically are ✌️
I believe that they were joking that nearly every student survives one
But it would also create a social group for recognizing how many people have had to experience one.
I mean ... as a US citizen I have been more well informed by the media about US soybean farmers than the demographic "survived a school shooting".
We really do live in a manifestation of south park
You have it backwards. South Park is a parody of real life. It was always meant to share lots of correlation. It's literally made to.
traumata cum laude
I was at my wife's work holiday party last night.
They had a clever icebreaker bingo game with facts about the attendees. One person's was "survived three school shootings." I found her and got a bingo. The prize was a $10 doordash gift card.
Lame prize, great game idea. Terrible that this has happened to her but she's a bright and cheerful woman.
I had an icebreaker event at like a new employee orientation thing where we did two truths and a lie.
One person said "I have cancer". That turned out to be her lie.
Who the fuck lies about that? Like everyone knows someone who has or had (and possibly lost to) cancer. That's in incredibly bad taste. There's morbid humor and then there's...something else.
She didn't last long there.
She probably has a great serpentine, too.
I think graduation ceremonies should include a speech from the lowest ranked graduate. Let's hear from both sides.
"WOOOOOOO!!! I AIN'T GOTTA GO TO SCHOOL NO MOE! GONNA SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY!"
Half the audience nods. The other half shakes their head in disapproval.
That's a lot of cum
Bukkake cum latte.
I always cum pretty laude
cum proelium, manga cum proelium, and summa cum proelium
survived one shooting, survived two shootings, survived three+ shootings
Would battle be right? I don't know if people are fighting back in shootings. I think it would be to run away, per "Pumped Up Kicks" so
cum fuga, magna cum fuga, maxima cum fuga?
Maybe impetus
cum impetu, magno cum impetu, summo cum impetu
People are definitely fighting back, not all of them, but there are fighters.
Ammo cum laude
Gun laude?
Yes guns are loud, they already know
Look we have enough participation trophies, we don’t want to bog down the ceremonies with another 400 awards. Also some of these people will be limping, possibly in wheelchairs. And god forbid we have a shooting at the event and we didn’t bring enough medals.
I kinda feel like this is sarcasm but I’m not even sure any more. How did we get here?
the problem is obviously we don't have enough guns and we don't have enough mandatory jesus.
if every american literature 1, transitions math, and concert band teacher were packing a tec-9 (at minimum), AND forced bible study jesus sundayschool everyday school was facefucked into every student everywhere, then there would be no such thing as school shootings. problem solved.
