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.

With high speed internet coming out at exactly the same time as my sex drive developed, I have probably seen more nude women than every human in my direct ancestry.

If not combined, I definitely have the high score for now.

By not having kids, you could cement your place as #1 titty seer of your bloodline

Turns out that there's a curse on humanity that if you see more than 800 boobs in your life, your chromosomes self-destruct. But we've never had data to figure out all out.

I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But ~~that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.~~ it could be a lot worse than death by titties

Down syndrome people would love this trick

And the chromosome challenged absolutely hate it.

800 boobs, even if only counting naked and from a real person (no AI, no drawings) is a low low number, and even skipping porn most pimps will have seen that number in their lives.

I saw 800 boobs just last night. 800 is rookie numbers.

Nope, only applies to boobs. A curse wouldn't seek to deny innocent people medical treatment.

Poor mamogram techs, though. Between the radiation and the boobiation... rip.

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I can confirm that I've defied the curse then! 😅

Adding this to the list of benefits to being snipped.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Are you saying parents can't have porn addictions?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think they just meant that having a kid opens it up so you might not stay #1.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

Genuinely couldn't figure out what HuntressHimbo meant 😅

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago

ceenote might be saying that OP's dad watches more porn than OP.

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago

No I more meant that OP could keep their lead perpetually by not having kids who could top them.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The internet isn't for porn?? Oh no
