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.

"This debate would be solved if everyone would just agree to one choice."

No. The seat up vs down being open for debate at all implies that the lid stays up all the time. That's crazy, the lid is literally made for covering the toilet.

Too bad women are too stubborn to pee with the seat up. Men are willing to meet them half way and put the seat down for pooping.

Plebs in this thread don't even have a poop man to hold the poop bucket for them when they poop standing up smh my head.

S is for sarcasm. I don't think i was being sarcastic. I wasn't serious either, just making a funny comment in response to another funny comment.

I think that's sarcasm, unless you actually meant to communicate that women are stubborn.

In any case, I think due to Poe's Law, you'd have gotten better votes if you included "/s" or "j/k" or another marker. (But, votes might not be a concern to you.)
