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.

Many phrases for defecating use the word "take". It makes no sense to me

Wait... you mean I don't have to shove my dog's shit up my ass?!

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

That is what every dog owner should be forced to do who doesn't clean up their dog's shit.

I run into the stall, push the people off the toilet and jam it into my own ass while it’s still warm.

Beavis, referring to Andy Rooney on Sixty Minutes: “and another thing. Why do they call it taking a dump? I’m not taking it anywhere!”

It's like having a nice lunch. Take can often just mean do like 'take a break'
