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.

I will write this song the day I read his obituary with glee.

You can sing most Emily Dickens poetry to the Pokémon theme song too.

Also this gem:

(To the power rangers theme) Go, go ninja turtles! Teenage mutant ninja turtles!

There's tons of things like that, they're all great xD

You're talking about "common metre", and it also includes Amazing Grace, the Gilligan's Island theme, House of the Rising Sun, Casey at the Bat, and the Lay of Nimrodel among many others.

You can swap any of the tunes and lyrics and they more or less work. One of my favorite music trivia things.

When I was little, we'd listen to music while the TV was on and laugh when their mouths lined up with the words, which happened a lot
