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.

Counter-argument: Pubes are just crotch beards.

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Agreed. “Pube” is short for “pubic hair”.

The face is not a pubis

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

But the hair comes in due to puberty.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

You've got your arm pit hair, your face pit hair, and your crotch pit hair. It's just pit hair all around.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

I like this one better

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

As evidenced by the term "bearded clam"

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 52 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lips are technically your asshole.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 41 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah i love reminding my wife we are one butthole to butthole tube when we kiss.

She on the other hand hates being reminded

Hmmm... I wonder, would a vacuum be created if you both started farting?:-?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago

Get stuck together, what a risky idea haha.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I saw something the other day where they were discussing how if frodo swallowed the ring he wouldn't disappear because it is outside of him. As in your intestines and stomach are "outside your body" as they are essentially a tube feeding all the way through you. This reminded me of that for whatever reason.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

Great way to smuggle it to Mordor. In the prison pocket

What's it gots in it's prison poketses precious

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As the ring passes through his intestines, surely some poop will get inside the ring. Does the poop inside Frodo turn invisible then?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does the poop inside Frodo turn invisible

Ah, the age-old question that has been dogging all of science for centuries!

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can excrement weild the ring of power. Welcome to BuzzFeed where we've assembled 30 random people to figure out if it's possible.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know about the RING of power, but excrement can clearly wield the offices of power 🤷

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But the ring isn't inside you when you wear it on your hand.

The ring being inside/outside of you doesn't affect the ring's properties; it's whether you're inside or outside the ring.

Yes, the ring has to encompass part of you. Being that the ring is in a tube that is "outside you" it never would be encompassing you. Unless it got stuck somewhere and wrapped around your intestines

))<>(( Forever.

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 43 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

If your face is technically your pubic area then yes, you are correct. But I don't think that may be true for a few people.

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

What about those who are described as a “dickhead”?

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice face pubes, dickhead!

I now have a new insult ready and loaded.

[–] XiELEd@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

I am stealing that too

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Honestly, as a penis owner, "dick beard" sounds worse than "face pubes":-?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 11 points 2 weeks ago

Hahaha fucking dick beards

It's like neck beard but for cunts

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Pubes are technically pubic beards

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Crotch beards

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Except it's on my balls

[–] monogram@feddit.nl 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Eyelashes are technically nose hairs.

My face is an unholy place of gluttony and fornication...

[–] javasux@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You say that like it's a bad thing

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don't personally think so 🤷

[–] illi@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

So do the face pubes 😁

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

theres a joke going around that musk cant grow facial hair, so when he did, it looks like had pubes transplanted to his face and scalp.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

And my face is a Seventies centerfold.

[–] Worthess@discuss.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

Interesting.. so everybody with curly pubes have curly hair?
