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:
- 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.
Hang in there. They both lose pretty much any insult value in after one is out of their teens
In and of themselves? Yes. But, I think anything can still be offensive if they hurl it at you the right way. Though the offense taken is the feeling of disrespect and knowing their intent, more than the word. If someone called me a bed sheet in the right tone, I'd still be upset. lol
You fucking lamp jiggler!
That's like 10% racist and I don't know how to explain why
Why would I care what a pinecone fondler has to say about it?
Quick edit: I'm gonna have to stop because I'll accidentally come up with a hurtful one and then I'll feel terrible.
Thanks for stopping lantern fiddler.
I absolutely love that people around here have a sense of humor. I needed some silly bullshit after the past few days.
In case no one told you, you've wandered into "silly bullshit central" on the internet. Welcome, have a beer, find a comfy chair!
Maybe it's because I've been married for decades and I have a kid, but I cannot imagine any situation in which I would find someone calling me a virgin to be offensive. Just very, very odd.
Only fuckers use virgin as an insult.
Does that also mean that only virgins use fucker as a insult?
Fuck has many meanings, "That fucking virgin" is an acceptable sentence to make that wouldn't be considered a contradiction
"That virgin's fucking" is also an acceptable sentence that wouldn't be considered a contradiction. But only once.
If they're mid first fuck, are they still virgins until they finish? 🤔
No, despite what many Mormons tell themselves.
I've always been amused at the idiots who hit on a girl, get rejected, and then call the woman a whore for not sleeping with them.
"Fucker" is the same as "motherfucker," it just has an implied "mother"
Fuck virgins
I’m quite comfortable being damned, I’ll be with all my friends :)
