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.

Not like the brand Crocs, but very similar concept. All plastic, weird colors, looks like nobody could be comfortable in them but somehow are, suited to their physiology.

Should we point at them and loudly ask what they are?

That'd be rad as hell

Might confirm we're the aliens from the future coming back to study primitive life.

We ask them nicely, but firmly, to leave our barbecue.

Isn't that just if they ask for their steak anything other than rare?

Yeah, off to the beach it is!

Every country denuclearizes immediately... By launching the entire planetary stockpile at their home planet.

[–] teft@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That would be a silly waste of our nukes. Even if their home planet were around Proxima Centauri it’d take tens of thousands of years for the nukes to reach them.

Every country in the universe or every country on Earth?

I thought that every country launching their nuclear weapons at their own home planet sounds bad... But if that's every country on any planet, it's only worse. Better lose just the Earth than lose at least trilliards of other civilizations across the millions of galaxy groups out there. (Although, any planet which hasn't ended up with the dumb concept of a "countries" would be safe... Hey, maybe this is a good plan after all?)

Everyone immediately dismisses it as a promotional stunt for Crocs. The only ones who believe them are the Crocs company, who insist that the aliens either pay royalties or compensate them by appearing in advertisements.

Then we warhammer them.

Or

SuperEarth em.

Everybody fights, nobody quits.

I actually got a battle coin from a craftsman at a fair with that on it. "Rico's Roughnecks. Everybody Fights. Nobody quits."

That and a BOS one.
