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 hate this, and I will now say this in public settings to make people uncomfortable with me. Thank you

Other phrases on this list include classics such as.

"Trees are just logs with branches on both sides."

"Snakes are just heads with tails."

"Cupcakes should have icing on the sides too for them to be cakes."

"Step aside mortals"

"Good Luck and bad luck are the same thing, just a matter of perspective." (love when they ask for me to elaborate on this one)

"Ants fought and died for this land!"

"Ever think about entropy?"

"Do you think wed survive at this speed?" In a car, plane etc or if theyve heard the phrase from me before say it again when moving at a snails pace.

"I wonder if theres a horton that can hear us whos."

"The devs really fucked this one up." in response to real world bad news implying we exist in a simulation

respond "NO" agressively with a straight face to very innocuous and polite requests, quickly smile and say "problem at all, ill do that right away" then do what they asked

I have more but they are contextual and dont spring to mind.

"Thanks for coming to my ted talk"

Do you think about Entropy, or have you only ever thought about Entropy, because of Entropy?

[–] LoreSoong@startrek.website 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Only entropically and even when i dont think about entropy im thinking about entropy because of entrophy

Glad to hear you think of me, if indirectly

[–] LoreSoong@startrek.website 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Always and slightly less over time. But also randomly.
