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.

Imagine you're at the salon just chillin' getting your hair washed and trimmed and your nails done and two chairs over they're holding a guy down while he screams to do it by force like wtf is up with THAT guy?

That was basically my son. Lost his fucking shit every time someone came anywhere near his hair. Like crazy stuff! Scissors or clippers.

It was a total pain in the ass, up until around jr high when he grew out of it. And he's a hairball now still. I tease him and call him Samson still sometimes to this day

I hated getting my hair cut when I was a boy.

I was never a boy.
