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.

If your monkey dies, the dates were bad, not sure if it works for prunes though.

Always keep a spare monkey on hand

The dates were poisoned. Not just mother nature trying to kill you, but another human.

This is the first one in a while that made me think.

Are there good prunes?

[–] Flamangoman@leminal.space 2 points 2 weeks ago

You know, buddy

Sadly the only way to answer that question is the hard way.

I'd wager they taste a little rancid and oxidised, but wouldn't do you any harm.

I bought a dozen prunes once. One didn't work.
