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.

Disclaimer: yes, the Wikipedia article mentions this possibility, but I had the shower thought before I went to look up if this was right. I was watching a Super Monkey Ball video where the narrator mentioned the Cleveland Browns but said it with a cadence that sounded like a first and last name. And then I realized.

You were never very good at Connect The Dots puzzles, huh?

I just don't watch American football, even the Super Bowl, so I know the team exists but have to think about it maybe once a year.

Even if you did watch the Super Bowl, you probably still wouldn’t hear of the Cleveland Browns.

Surely they would have heard the euphemism for taking a shit?

"I gotta drop the Cleveland Browns off at the Super Bowl."

I have never heard of this before now
