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 didn't know what either of those mean.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago (3 children)

shit-ass is bad. E.g. I have a shitass lawnmower so it takes a long time.

[–] _edge@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

And poop butt is good? This poop-butt device mows the lawn in seconds. ???

[–] thelasttoot@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Poop butts aren't good, but they're not bad either. They're just something you have to deal with when you have pets or a baby.

[–] _edge@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

And shit-ass is what you have to deal with when babies become teenagers?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Lmao, no actually. I'm not sure I've ever hesrd someone say that.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Huh. I would say my mower is shitty or a pain in the ass, but it would never occur to me to say shitass. Maybe it's regional?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe. Or, maybe you're just shit ass at keeping up with what people say.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Thats probably it. I've been pretty busy dealing with a poop butt.

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Lol my inner dialoge can't read "shit-ass" in any other voice than Sweet Dee from Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And I'm guessing a “poop butt” is to be taken literally.

"poop butt" is my elderly house cat when she needs a little help cleaning up after using the sand box.

"shit ass" describes the character of my state's Lieutenant Governor.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

Poop butt can't help themselves, shit ass can but chooses not to

[–] degen@midwest.social 4 points 10 months ago

We say poo butt... What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hello fellow Texan. Load 20 friends into your truck and take them to vote!

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I'm a tarheel not a shitkicker.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Disagree. While unconventional, the phrases would appear to be interchangeable.

If I wanted to call someone a shit ass near a 10 year old I might call them a poop butt.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Fudgy booty

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

To me, a baby is often a poop butt because of the diaper. Teenagers are often shit asses because they're rebelling.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That shit ass has a poop butt

My little poop butt can be a real shit ass

I like it

[–] Illegalmexicant@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Poopy butthole vs Mr. Poopybutthole

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

On that note, when people take a shit, where do they take it, and why?

I tend to leave my shit, not take it. Sometimes I even flush my shit. 💩

I have been looking for an excuse to share this clip that has been haunting me for over a year:

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What did I just watch? I feel like I’ve just had enough internet for one day, and it’s not even lunch time yet.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

has been stuck in my head now for...maybe closer to 2 years?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Thank you for giving a shit 👍

[–] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I assume they take it to another toilet or a compost pile. Maybe they need a fecal transplant and don't have health insurance.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 10 months ago

My dogs are poop butts.

My sister is a shit ass.

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Shit that’s a dank ass poop

I've seen this a couple times and not sure how I feel about it. I think its because the joke and content it's self is honestly brilliant. Like its such an original take on such a common everyday subject. Then even though I now his delivery of being the adapting foreigner is his shtick, I still just don't like his ability to perom. I might have to check how his more current bits are cuz like installed I think the jokes are great, I just feel he might be a better writer than performer.

And yet a dump rump is still worse.
