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.

My ex wife prefered snap chat.

So you know, I just happened to get traumatized by another dudes dick in my wife's phone after her nude photos I've never seen. I don't know who he was other than her admitting it was a guy she cheated on me with 5 years ago.

No I'm not over it. Its been over a year, and because of the toxic nature of our relationship I don't have confidence to go out there and meet other people. It's fine, I'm fine. I've got video games and a shower to cry in.

But fuck smartphones. I hate this goddamn technology more than I hate my ex.

That sucks. But it also happened before smartphones. Ask me how I know.

Are you the dude who texted @Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world their wife?

It takes a long time for that hurt to go away. It eventually will, mostly.

Take your time. It'll be better.

Elden Ring, Helldivers when I need to calm down from Elden Ring, and Factorio when I need to cool it from Helldivers.

I sprinkle in a little Diablo IV and No Man's Sky too
