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.

Only one way to settle this: A GAY-OFF!

OK, go whats your favorite off broadway musical?

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm not gay, let alone gay enough to know which musicals are and aren't Broadway. I've seen quite a few musicals elsewhere, though, so I can be on the panel.

Well damn, I was hoping to get some fun new suggestions. Anyway my favorite is Hedwig and the angry inch

It's just one song, but in Only Murders in the Building, Steve Martin sings Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?

Nope, it's me and I bet you can't prove me wrong.

You're all wrong. Everyone is straight on the Freddy Mercury gay scale.
