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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

i would be more concerned that someone, somewhere, has a small doll that looks like me.

WHY ARE THE NEEDLES SO BIG

- your doll

I don't see why, if you're chilling, it should be chilling too

[โ€“] Mothra@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because voodoo dolls actually chill during voodoo sessions

[โ€“] morrowind@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Presumably because they're dolls

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE!!??!?

I'd be kind of impressed with myself if someone disliked me enough to make a voodoo doll of me.

Could be some form of love. There's some crazy out there.

Dear god... My mind is blown.
