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.

Heady times for the patient necrophile.

Those actually get reused. There hasn't been a new pair of silicone boobies manufactured in the past ten years. It's also one of the most common reason for hauntings.

That's why they're called boooobies

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

Boooooooooobs

Those are natural!

What, you don't have boob-bones?

I never played bg but according to wiki it's a he. So he got a sex change? If you're undead I guess that's trivial. A bit of duct tape.

It was a mod to give him "big naturals"

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 28 points 15 hours ago

Impressive. Most impressive

My flesh is temporary but these tits are eternal.

Bones do rot, just more slowly than flesh.

[–] MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 1 points 47 minutes ago

If you want to be really specific, bones do not rot per se. They go trough diagenesis, where collagen and minerals breakdown over long periods.

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Silicone too for that matter, what with proton decay and all that.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 24 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Technically, silicone does not rot. It breaks down into smaller materials but does not decompose into its base components like organic material.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Well, those are macroplastics.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

And what do the macroplastics break down into?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

In this case? Erections.

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Even Macroerplastics

[–] kreekybonez@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

the bones are their money...

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

It’s like OP has never heard of morticians.

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 23 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, we are actually removing them and return to the families in a separate package.

Yeah I definitely don't not regret that I didn't decide to not not read that comment.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

They stay with the corpse as far as I'm aware. There's a mortician on IG who answers questions and I'm pretty sure this was one of them.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

What?

I mean, obviously bones rot, but you think silicone implants last forever?
