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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Here's an oddity ... people use 🍆 "eggplant" for penis, and 🍑 "peach" for butt, but there doesn't seem to be a general consensus on which emoji to use for vulva. Some options include:
(Really there are plenty of other options for penis as well, such as 🌽 "ear of corn" or 🕹 "joystick", but folks seem to have settled on the eggplant.)
I use the peach emoji to indicate pussy, and/or implied as any fleshy hole a man would want to penetrate.
I concur 🍑😉
Won't you look at that, a winking asshole.

That's what it meant back in the 90s. I was initially confused when people started using the emoji to mean butt.
The peach emoji was added in Unicode 6.0 ... which came out in 2010. How were you using it in the 1990s?
I'm not talking about emoji. I'm talking about, well, talk. Words.
and songs!

I've seen plenty of people online use cat emojis for vagina.
I'm old enough to remember when a peach was a vagina.
You know, I can eat a peach for hours.
Odd that they should represent either as peaches tend to be much less palatable.
I’ve always thought the peach was for that.
I think it was originally for that but thots started associating it with their butt
