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:
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.
So you're the one who stole my bath towel.
Yes I collect gay bath towels
How can you tell the sexuality of a towel?
edit: I think some people thought I was asking about identifying the gender of the towel. As much as I never thought I'd have to write anything like this sentence: I was asking how to identify the partnership preferred by a towel, rather than anything to do with its hypothetical undercarriage.
I know it when I see it
Wow, toweldar.
If you notice they get wet before you've used them to towel off, congrats, they're into you. If they're dry as a bone when you use them, they're really not enjoying it, at all. It's not rocket science.
Ugh, I can't believe my towel is only into me after it's been used by my partner.
This might help determine whether or not they enjoy the company of a particular gender, but you couldn't use this method to identify, for example, bisexuality. Unless you take group showers, I guess.
Well, there are worse hobbies...
Don't tempt them. It's hard enough to cross the street as it is.
lol .... conservatives would be the first to happily just get rid of cross walks altogether ... both to not acknowledge LGBTQ+ and also to give more freedom to vehicles and get rid of "pedestrians"
A good wholesome road needs to be safe for our traditional family SUVs and free of these dangerous ((pedestrians)).
"It's for the children! No more crosswalks! Just frogger it, kids!" -Ron DeSantis
I like this idea. It’s like depressed version of pride flag, indicating LGBTQ people are repressed and in pain
Like a dead coral reef.
Perfect for Florida!
Yes, a distress flag
To be honest those twats would already be on board with that.
"Crosswalks? The fuck, you ain't driving your truck across the street to get there? It too damn far!"

Now we just get the uniforms:
Nobody tell them about the cishet ally flag which is almost exactly this... ;)
Having just checked that flag, damn, we don’t get any fun colors?!?
The ally flag gets fun colors! It’s the black and white background with a rainbow ∧ shape. I wear this as a pin sometimes. Also my favorite restaurant has one hanging proudly inside.
I am 100% in favor of the message behind this flag, but holy crap it's a real eyesore. Same with the Progress Pride flag and some of the other LGBTQ flags. I keep hoping some skilled graphic designers out there will come up with cleaner designs.
Idk, I like the Progress Pride flag. Imo it makes sense and represents pretty much everyone. Yeah it has a lot of colors, but the design itself is pretty straightforward
It’s giving “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas”
Yeah tbh. And it aligns better with the concept of sexuality/gender being more of a spectrum than rigidly designated buckets.
Isn't the rainbow meant to represent the spectrum. Like how rainbows show the visible spectrum of light?
It would be a lot prettier that way
Are you trying to get the entire dcip3 banned??
These are all straight lines, give me the real gay flag
It... is kind of a giant mess.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBTQ) is a good summary but the modern rainbow color scheme is a somewhat recent iteration.
But much as "LGBT" has become "LGBTQ" and "LGBTQIA" and "LGBTQIA+" and so forth, so too have the flag added and removed stripes. And... a lot of that is intentional animosity since a shocking number of LGBTQIA+ folk are actually REALLY bigoted (the old "jokes" about how bisexual people need to "choose a side" and so forth) and it becomes a whole thing.
I love the intersex-inclusive progress pride flag, which adds designs to the left that explicitly include three under-represented groups (BIPOC, trans+, and intersex).
I once had someone, in earnest, complain at me that if we kept adding chevrons, the flag would have to get wider, and showed me an image that was like 1000 pixels by 20.
And then got mad at me when I asked if I could have that as a scarf :)
What in the white skittles?
Don't give Florida ideas
Cute but this wouldn't work for this obvious reason -- conservatives would be like, "sure buddy. If you say so."
OTOH, we made the rainbow work so... I guess?
Dude have you seen the rainbow? ITS LITERALLY JUST VISIBLE LIGHT and its the greatest threat to the conservative world.
You way underestimate how much they care.
And they are literally naturally occurring. Like... I wonder how mad conservatives get when it rains on a sunny day, and a rainbow comes popping up in the sky reminding them of their closeted homosexuality.
Why is Red on the left and Blue on the right? Don't tell the MAGA crowd or they will try to pass another law...
