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.

Well I guess the public shooting of him was just the cost of gun ownership in this country. Don't worry. He doesn't want you to feel bad for him. Remember, he's AGAINST empathy! So you should honor his wishes, and not feel any empathy at all for him.
I would continue to use his own words against him, but firstly, I don't know anything else about him. Not that I'm complaining. Seems to me everything about him just pisses me off. So for my own mental health, I'm ok being ignorant about this guy.
But secondly, I'm so far behind the game on this, that I fear any cynical jokes I make at his expense might be new to me, but for everybody else I'd be going through the old reruns of obvious jokes. With me being the only one who hadn't heard them before.
So instead, maybe we all set up a nationwide activity. We all go pee on his grave. C'mon! It'll be like hands across America. Except instead of raising money for AIDS research during it's infancy, we'll instead be whipping out our cocks, and pissing on this assholes grave. And ladies, I didn't forget about you. I'll be selling funnels with tubes duct taped to them. So you don't have to miss out on the piss fest!
Perfect.
