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.

You may be surprised to learn all emojis are emoji-sized.

Duck. I meant to say duck.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

FYI - you can edit post titles on lemmy

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

I know, but its funnier this way, so i'm going to leave it.

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Ooooh, that makes more sense, yes! Thank you and sorry!

[–] agitated_judge@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The duck fucks, but does the fuck duck?

The fuck could have ducked to be the same height as the car

[–] benni@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Car for witches

[–] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are some big as fuck SUVs though.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

No that's just a typo, it's a big ass-fuck SUV actually.

I see you've trained your autocorrect well

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Shit. I meant to say duck, not fuck.

edit: a letter.

[–] LaminatedDenim@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Truly it's a crime that emoji are not true to scale

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The car emoji takes up half of your screen, and you have to zoom to see the ant one.

Seems fun ngl.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

All the emojis should be scaled up so the atom could be at least 1 pixel

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Real fuck, toy car

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This isn’t true, the duck is just much closer…

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Great, now I can't unsee the close duck.
