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.

Interesting that your default unit of chips is 'a chip' and not 'a handful of chips' or 'a bag of chips'.

Yes. This is really good advice.

Even if you wash your hands... Did you really get all the oil off? Are you sure? ALL of it?

...why?

Edit: oh, spicy. Not fresh out of the oven like I was thinking.

Because OP does not believe in washing their hands after eating and before pissing.

Do you wash your hands before you piss?

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes if I was eating something and my hands are not debris free.

Only the fanciest of pants for me.

Yup. My dick is clean and I aim on keeping it that way.

Look at this guy eating hot chips and lying.

Hot as in spicy? Yeah. I've made that mistake.
