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.

Those are natural!

I never played bg but according to wiki it's a he. So he got a sex change? If you're undead I guess that's trivial. A bit of duct tape.

It was a mod to give him "big naturals"

Impressive. Most impressive

What, you don't have boob-bones?

My flesh is temporary but these tits are eternal.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Those actually get reused. There hasn't been a new pair of silicone boobies manufactured in the past ten years. It's also one of the most common reason for hauntings.

That's why they're called boooobies

Bones do rot, just more slowly than flesh.

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Silicone too for that matter, what with proton decay and all that.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Technically, silicone does not rot. It breaks down into smaller materials but does not decompose into its base components like organic material.

Well, those are macroplastics.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And what do the macroplastics break down into?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

In this case? Erections.

If you want to be really specific, bones do not rot per se. They go trough diagenesis, where collagen and minerals breakdown over long periods.

It’s like OP has never heard of morticians.

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, we are actually removing them and return to the families in a separate package.

Yeah I definitely don't not regret that I didn't decide to not not read that comment.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I choose to believe your fib because the thought of grieving families keeping granny's fake tits next to her ashes on the mantlepiece is too funny.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's not only funny, it also stabilizes the mantelpiece during an earthquake and prevents the urn from toppling over.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

They stay with the corpse as far as I'm aware. There's a mortician on IG who answers questions and I'm pretty sure this was one of them.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Imagine they take them out and dispose of them separately, and some dude finding out at the open casket that his wife was packing fakes for their entire marriage and being outraged.

It's like a bad sitcom plot.

What?

I mean, obviously bones rot, but you think silicone implants last forever?

[–] umt@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, they will not "rot" as microorganisms cannot digest silicone.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

But they'll rupture and leak...

Like, they're not even a "lifetime" thing, go 20 years and you're risking it. Most are recommended to be replaced after a decade, maybe 15 years. Which isn't that long for a major surgery and why they're almost always insured.

I knew a stripper back in the day that would basically beat people up with them, because if it ruptured she got new ones free, and if they didn't rupture soon, they'd last long enough she'd have to pay for new ones out of pocket....

Because they're not a permanent thing.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I would imagine that any artificial thing (including implants) could last forever when left undisturbed for any given length of time.

Your argument hinges on use and abuse; not something typical inside of a casket, buried 6-feet underground.

~There are exceptions to every rule. 😱~

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Pretty much everything oxidizes and breaks down. Being non-biodegradable just means bacteria won’t eat it.

[–] Artisian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, as an analogy think of plastic bottles. Left alone they break into tiny tiny pieces that get everywhere. This is often caused by the sun or abrasion, but underground you've got the preparation materials, rotting flesh gasses, and plenty of microbes.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

However, except in probably exceedingly rare cases, there are no microbes that can subsist off of silicone.

Then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how things happen, and an oversized confidence in modern caskets.

Not to mention what seems to be a complete lack of understanding what "artificial" means

I can’t imagine having them intentionally leak into the body being safe.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, cocaine isn't safe for the body either, but try telling that to a big breasted stripper while she's punching you in the face with double D's.

Lots of people make risky decisions...

But in this case it's pretty safe. Ruptures are so common the filling is just as inert as the membrane.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Theyre filled with saline so technically theyre safe. The issue is that most of the time they are not filled properly. Theyre left with a small air gap or have high amounts of oxygen in the saline. This means you can transplant bacteria or mold spores into the saline. Once the implant is sealed, this leads to a contained anerobic environment. This results in an implant absolutely loaded with bacteria where the saline can turn brown and look like apple sauce, or a moldy implant where the saline can turn black or green and become quite firm. If you pop either of those, you die.

[–] pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Saline filled implants are different than "silicone" implants (even though they both have silicone - "silicone" implants are filled with a silicone gel, saline have a silicone exterior that's filled with saline).

Saline is the older type and are becoming much less common these days.

So those halloween displays where the woman skeleton is given breasts are accurate after all!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Archeologists will find pits of boobs, lips and buttocks and write books about butt lifts.

My theory is it's all a terra forming plan to lift Florida out of flooding using silicone floatation and shoe lifts.
