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.
The next day: 'What? Six bank robberies!? But I just vandalized the library!' 'Nice try. They saw your plate with all the 1's and I's.' 'That's impossible! I've been with my car the whole ti-- ... wait. Ok, wow, that was clever of her.'
That's why you get some friends together to all have similar plates. Similar cars too, if possible.
"Was it the gray Corolla, or the gray Camry? Was de-badged?" "They are all de-badged! What about the prius from the bank robbery?" "There are three cyan prii, that fled from that" "Were they driving an LE or SE model trim?" "No idea, did anyone check what wheels they had?" "Oh, they are known to swap the wheels of the different trims of that generation" "I've heard that they wrap the cars before they pull a job, so they don't expose the real paint job" "GAHHHH"
We once went on a Nissan Skyline cruise, which was basically 30+ Nissan Skylines travelling together between landmarks.
At one point a police car came past the other way just as two of them did a rolling race which involved much noise and tyre smoke.
Police car spins around and arrives to find... 30+ of the same model car parked up, and no one remembers who it was that might have done it.
Security through obscurity worked fine that day.

Yeah, if you want conspiracy and RICO charges added to make sure you spend the rest of your life being tortured in prisons..
I mean I think the Toyota Corolla is still the most popular new car worldwide, and bland colors like white and gray are the most common as they are neutral colors that everyone seems to be okay with. Not our fault we want to use dependable boring transportation for our families, officer...
How is it that there is always a fitting xkcd no matter what kind of hilarious situation is mentioned?

I wonder how many people are found nowadays by searching vs being delivered by the algorithm.
At least on Lemmy, you don’t really search for people except in very rare cases. On Mastodon, users are more important than the topics they talk about, so over there it’s a whole different ballgame.
This is what I was thinking. Most people probably just come together algorithmically or by having played a round together, and not necessarily by search. If there is the need to search for a specific player, there is also often a second player ID that can be used instead of the display name.
Maybe I don't wanna be found.
But also: Copy and paste are even easier than typing.
Why is that ironic?
Like rain on your wedding day.
But we are indoors?
And do we have a use for all these spoons?
You'd think with that many spoons you'd have a fork and knife somewhere.
The caterer's cutlery guy is SOOO getting fired!
Caterer's cutlery cultivator cut!
My city got rained on during a lunar eclipse. I'm not kidding.
It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid
We don't talk about Bruno
Maybe they like to stand out but don't like to be searched out.
Classic example of faux Cyrillic.
