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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Damn, your block and filter list must be impressive.

Mine ain't small either, and this place does look nice

ACTUALLY, there is no burger inside of it. The Burger is the cow part. Checkmate, Atheist!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Next you'll be telling me a hot dog isn't a type of taco.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Strawman argument! It isn't.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

But some sandwiches are burgers like that bacon chicken burger you posted.

The top layer of pastry in a pop tart is perforated through to the filling, so I would argue that it doesn't count as a bread, which would make the pop tart a toast.

M&Ms are calzones...

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Today I'll be showing you how to make an authentic, delicious calzone using only six pieces of toast...

Dumplings are calzones as are pop tarts.

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Then funyuns and burger rings are sushi, but sashimi is sometimes toast

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You’re thinking of nigiri, sashimi has no starch.

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This really is a Picasso perspective on things. Now I know he was just craving calzones this whole time.

Picasso’s ear could be considered sashimi.

Some sandwiches are burgers but it needs steak to be a burger

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I’ve never heard of a steak burger.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Go to a pub, it’s called a steak sandwich on the menu.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"my local pub said so" fallacy

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My mother said I’m right.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

Your mother said a lot of things. I didn't know how religious she was.

I feel left out, what drama did I miss?

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There was a post saying everyone on Lemmy was up themselves and full of shit and the worst, going into way too much detail for seemingly no reason. I tried to reply and found it was deleted. So then I reversed it and trimmed the fat.

[–] Phineaz@feddit.org 6 points 5 days ago

Well, thank you for your explanation and the positivity! Always welcome :) Merry Christmas/Kwanza/Holidays

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Ban for spreading fake news

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I just want to say I'm sorry I left that asshole unbanned for 3 hours. Life tends to get in a way.

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

All good, thank you for your service o7

[–] CubbyTustard@reddthat.com 5 points 6 days ago

Ain't you a peach!

Thanccs fren :3

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 55 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yup. Even when I disagree, I prefer to disagree with people on the fediverse than on other media.

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Disagreement here is more of an opportunity to either learn or educate than almost anywhere else from what I've seen

[–] Custodian1623@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

or be downvoted, namecalled and perhaps have death threatened on you because you disagree with one point and are therefore the enemy

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I feel like that's a lot more likely in other places than it is here

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago

How could u? Disagreeing makes u a fascist! Ur a bad faith fuckknucle. Heres some sources as to why ur wrong (insert bias source denying Tiananmen square ever happened).

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The only problem is when there is a person being a shithead it hurts me much more than on other websites.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

You were supposed to the ones to bring balance back to the force!

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago

You’re right, I am. Thanks, friend. :D

On topic, I agree with you. Really like the community here and exciting to see it continue to grow.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Gosh you're right, I'm so special and kind and humble, I deserve to be recognised for how extremely humble I am ♥️

In seriousness, I have good days and bad days, sometimes I'm grumpy or pretty my anger about a bag thing happening to people get the better of me and go into my words, but I do care about everyone, I do want a better world and an end to bigotry, fascism, racism, techno-feudalism, late stage capitalism, and if I could own my own house this lifetime that'd be great too, for my family's sake...

I'm just so angry at the state of things, so disenfranchised, so fed up, and places like this are where I actually see all of the articles and posts about this awful stuff, not to mention actually running in to bootlickers and scummy people. It's hard not to get grumpy and angry while I'm here :-(

I might take a break from this stuff next year, I'm not sure yet. Staying informed feels important, but at the same time feels futile and damaging to my mental health, so I might just let myself be ignorant for a while, you know?

Anyway, thanks for the kind words :-)
