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.

Pubes are technically pubic beards

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 points 16 minutes ago

Except it's on my balls

If your face is technically your pubic area then yes, you are correct. But I don't think that may be true for a few people.

What about those who are described as a “dickhead”?

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml -3 points 18 hours ago

Nah, it's from it developing in puberty

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 67 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

Counter-argument: Pubes are just crotch beards.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 4 points 12 hours ago

As evidenced by the term "bearded clam"

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Agreed. “Pube” is short for “pubic hair”.

The face is not a pubis

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 1 points 18 hours ago

But the hair comes in due to puberty.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

You've got your arm pit hair, your face pit hair, and your crotch pit hair. It's just pit hair all around.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago

I like this one better

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 50 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Lips are technically your asshole.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 40 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah i love reminding my wife we are one butthole to butthole tube when we kiss.

She on the other hand hates being reminded

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Hmmm... I wonder, would a vacuum be created if you both started farting?:-?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 12 points 22 hours ago

Get stuck together, what a risky idea haha.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 5 points 17 hours ago

))<>(( Forever.

I saw something the other day where they were discussing how if frodo swallowed the ring he wouldn't disappear because it is outside of him. As in your intestines and stomach are "outside your body" as they are essentially a tube feeding all the way through you. This reminded me of that for whatever reason.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

But the ring isn't inside you when you wear it on your hand.

The ring being inside/outside of you doesn't affect the ring's properties; it's whether you're inside or outside the ring.

Yes, the ring has to encompass part of you. Being that the ring is in a tube that is "outside you" it never would be encompassing you. Unless it got stuck somewhere and wrapped around your intestines

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

As the ring passes through his intestines, surely some poop will get inside the ring. Does the poop inside Frodo turn invisible then?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Does the poop inside Frodo turn invisible

Ah, the age-old question that has been dogging all of science for centuries!

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Can excrement weild the ring of power. Welcome to BuzzFeed where we've assembled 30 random people to figure out if it's possible.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 hours ago

I don't know about the RING of power, but excrement can clearly wield the offices of power 🤷

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 7 points 19 hours ago

Great way to smuggle it to Mordor. In the prison pocket

What's it gots in it's prison poketses precious

Honestly, as a penis owner, "dick beard" sounds worse than "face pubes":-?

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 11 points 23 hours ago

Hahaha fucking dick beards

It's like neck beard but for cunts

[–] Worthess@discuss.online 2 points 15 hours ago

Interesting.. so everybody with curly pubes have curly hair?

[–] monogram@feddit.nl 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Eyelashes are technically nose hairs.

My face is an unholy place of gluttony and fornication...

[–] illi@piefed.social 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 20 hours ago

So do the face pubes 😁

[–] javasux@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You say that like it's a bad thing

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 21 hours ago

I don't personally think so 🤷
