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.

I saw this coming a while ago and started getting myself used to jerking it to stories of Trump embarrassing himself.

My junk's been raw as hell this past week.

I think the worst part so far is the instant irreversible plainclothes death camp disappearances with no legal process but sure go off I guess

[–] Brutticus@lemm.ee 25 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Horny people have rights... for now

Just you wait until my rise to ultimate power is complete /s

All you people casually interspersing regular posts with porn in your feed scare me. My account had NSFW disabled when I made it, and I've never turned it on.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There's hungry Only Fans girls out there who need our help. It's your duty as a humanitarian to help them. 😁

They hungry, we thirsty. It's a match made in the Bacchanalia

[–] Batman@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I like the danger. Wait for no one to be looking over my shoulder then eye-fuck the shit out of a post while maintaining a convincing poker face.

i think mine is enabled but I've blocked all the 🌽 instances

[–] LeninsOvaries@lemmy.cafe 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

I want to see dirty jokes, triggering content, and gore.

I don't wanna see tiddies or anime children in skimpy outfits.

How can this be a hard problem for the developers to solve??

[–] Baguette@lemm.ee 19 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Imo nsfw is a bad tag and should be separated to at least viewer discretion (nsfl) and porn. I'd probably add a tag on offensive humor too, since I don't think my workplace would appreciate things like guillotines or 2meirl4meirl, but that is less useful than the other two

Is it me, or is there basically zero gore content on Lemmy?

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 4 points 5 days ago

I think that's because instance admins are very hands on and take action to remove questionable content.

Which is why it's possible to block all 🌽 instances.

i got the ick from that site a year or two ago and stopped going when the admins of the site fought WAY to hard against criticisms about allowing AI generated child porn and very energetically defending keeping it on their site.

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What the absolute fuck. That's insane if true.

With the nature of federation that then must cause issues for admin of other instances who end up federating that content.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Spoiler: It probably isn't

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I suspected that to be the case but left it somewhat open for the user to provide a source

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of gooners suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly flaccid.

A lot of the porn subs on Lemmy are less trafficked. If you are belong to any of them, try sorting by "subscribed" and "hot" or "new." Also subscribe to more of them.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I see lots of furries and anime chicks still

[–] oce@jlai.lu 8 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

You need to block anisocial lewd communities, a few dozens.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What if he's not complaining?

[–] LeninsOvaries@lemmy.cafe 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well I'm complaining about all the "moe" with children in it. This shit is absurd.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

.....I don't know what you mean by "moe", and based on context I feel ignorance may actually be bliss in this case.

Local is my SFW lemmy. All is where the gifs swim in the porn sea.

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 5 days ago (7 children)

Meanwhile I mostly browse All and running into the porn is how I know I've scrolled too deep. Such a variety of experience this place.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Then you just end up with communities without new content, because nobody posts, because no interaction happens, because nobody posts...

Why are you looking at me like that?

We're decentralizing human sexuality

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Did .world ban NSFW or something?

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Lemmynsfw.com got put in my blocked instances list. I thought that I must have pocket blocked it, but this thread makes me wonder...

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I blocked it because I browse all and every day dozens of communities were being created. And I don't need porn communities here really. I just didn't want to miss out on the non-porn NSFW content, comics like Oglaf.

Edit: Shit I just remembered it was actually because assholes kept posting SFW pics of celebs causing their NSFW communities to show up.
