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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

You know that you can buy heroin with money?

[–] PotatoMoon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Heroin offers to solve all of your problems. It's like money in that way. They do it via differing avenues tho.

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I can't think of a single problem that heroin offers to solve.

All of your problems with melt away...briefly.

It isn't just money that can solve your problem though, it takes effort too. No matter how much money you have at the very least you still have to use your mouth to speak to get what you want.

It makes you briefly forget about your problems while creating a lot more.

Or dick sucks!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 4 days ago

But then you won't have money.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 11 points 4 days ago

I think it is perhaps more accurate to say Power is Heroin for Violent People

Junkies are some of the most boring people to talk to

Can confirm. Love making money, daily life is pretty boring by many people's standards.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't like making money but I do like receiving it.

Usually requires that I make it somehow. That part usually sucks.

Yep, it's really finicky to draw the picures and lettering just right . . . and finding that same colour and texture paper.

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

Ah yes, love hanging out with all those fun heroin addicts

[–] glowie@h4x0r.host 5 points 4 days ago

Just crushing up a Benjamin to inject this motherfucker right into my vein

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Isn't that a quote from a series or movie?
I just can't remember anymore where I've heard it, but it stuck with me...

[–] PotatoMoon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think it's a quote from like 10 movies or blogs or something

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Could very well be, yeah...
Just heard it an a movie or series like a week ago the first time, but can't really remember where I heard it

[–] qwertilliopasd@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I just heard it in "A Real Pain"

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago

Ah, yeah, thanks!
That was it!

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

Not if you spend it on things that are fun. I have so much fun decor and furniture wishlisted on Amazon and when i have my own apartment it will be a scrapbook of everything that brings me joy. I will make my bed look like an amazon van because I'm not boring.
