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.

We are room stuck on beans right now

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wasn't on most the day, all the sudden every comment is about a can of beans. I need /r/outoftheloop

[–] rebelappliance@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There was a post that said "lemmy will upvote anything even beans" with a pic of beans and it got up votes so now lemmy is memeing beans

[–] treetop@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Better than poop talk all day imo

[–] Tankaus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Beans are just future poop.

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everything is future poop if you're brave enough.

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Especially poop.

[–] Duranie@lemmy.film 2 points 2 years ago

You're drunk goat, go home.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Never forget the guy who didn't want to poop for 3 days.

[–] LUHG_HANI@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Did he fail from eating beans?

[–] yukichigai@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That really felt like the kind of question someone would ask only if they're lactose intolerant. "Load up on cheese before you go camping so you don't have to poo" is pretty common wisdom.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, ketosis is key.

You will be pleased to know that Lemmy went to the source a few weeks back: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/151820

[–] DanglingFury@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm on Lemmy. World and can't load the comment. Bad gateway it says

[–] synthllama 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

SDF has been having some scaling pains. But it looks like it federated to lemmy.world, how about this link? https://lemmy.world/post/304685

I'm going to miss Poem_for_your_sprog. Some were hilarious and others were emotional.

[–] Aim413@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I just realized Schnoodle got left behind as well : (

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

How are we going to hear about Roger Simon and his dad's jumper cables now?

[–] ColonelSanders@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
We remember those we left,
and those who went away.
Taking with us memories,
and in our hearts they'll stay.


Sprog and Schnoodle, ShittyMorph,
the highlights of our days.
They speak to us in spirit,
what words we cannot say.


Fear not, oh wary traveler,
there's one thing you should know.
For out of ashes and the past,
new sprouts begin to grow.


Let others take the mantle,
to raise that burning flame.
Together we can make our own,
and love them all the same.

I will always remember the poor man who's father beat him savagely with jumper cables. Everytime.

[–] cornbread@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s always been my favorite Reddit novelty account by far. Sad whoever ran it stopped posting a while back. Hope his dad didn’t beat him to death with those jumper cables.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Not to death, I've heard. Just to within an inch of his life.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or that damn lock ness monsta

[–] Uncandy1@reddthat.com 8 points 2 years ago

I would also like to see an update on the epoxy hot dog

[–] MadWorks@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I will always remember the poor man who's father beat him savagely with jumper cables. Everytime.

[–] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I can’t wait for him to show up here.

[–] yukichigai@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

As much as he pissed people off I did like Sal Bundry using every opportunity to talk about his 5 touchdowns in a single game.

[–] LegitimateEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Just gotta say, reading the replies... This already feels like home.

[–] Sergio@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Lol, not Hell in a Cell, but it is the 30th anniversary of Lex & Yoko aboard the USS Intrepid.

[–] sergio@lemmy.blahaj.zone -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It would be great if all the low effort reddit shit stayed on reddit

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Oh totally agree 😅
