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.

Wraths are usually referred to as "wasps." And I am a Lust/Gluttony hybrid.

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So you eat off the backs of strippers, got it.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm surprised "we want plates" wasn't just full of sushi on naked women.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Aww I forgot about that sub. I miss it.

[–] Lath@kbin.earth 1 points 1 year ago

I think it means they eat ass and like big booties.

What are animals that mess up bees, for 400?

Hi, I'm lusts

Edit: it's unfortunate that the only other commentor is name pp boy

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good thing you're edible then

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Also known as Pride

[–] R2DPru@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Prides are lions. Alice in wonderland mentions momewraths.

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

could just rename some animals. Honey badgers could be a good candidate for Wraths.

If cats are any sin, it is pride without a doubt. Hell a specific kind of big cat is already called a pride when they're in a group

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Hugely depends on the cat. Some that I've known are wraths, but most are sweethearts (who like to take Attack of Opportunity)

oh man its a snaaaaaaaaaa

[–] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 1 points 1 year ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Badger, badger, badger, badger...

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

okay. So a sloth is a furry animal that moves very slowly. Please tell me what the other things look like.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A pride is a group of lions that live together.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone told me once that even if we could speak to a lion it wouldn't understand it.

I am not picturing a Who's on first, what's on second situation with explaining a pride parade to a lion.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean... you can speak to lions.

You can't speak with them, but you can speak to them.

I just spent the night speaking to my brother's cat.

[–] Phoonzang@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure my Dad's cat is really a glutton.

[–] Cuberoot@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 year ago

Gluttons exist; their modern name is wolverine.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Honey badgers, dolphins, pigs, cats, peacocks, and billionaires

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would Envies be songbirds that mimic other birds? Also, parrots

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would throw ferrets, weasles or trash pandas for the slot as they are known to like stealing things.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

But would that be Envy or Greed? I guess it would depend on whether they steal it because they want to have it or because they don't want you to have it

[–] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's only logical

[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Animal lusts definitely exist

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where are the lusts? Asking for a friend.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you ever felt aroused by a Dolphin?

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But also of thinkers, movers and content creators.

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

Movers and shakers and YouTube content makers

[–] ComplexLotus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

7 deadly Sins? 7 deadly Sinners?

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Did you browse r/funny while showering?

[–] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 1 year ago

No it doesn't.
