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.

While 'It's Raining Men' was released in the autumn of 1982 by the American music duo The Weather Girls as the lead single for their third studio album, the lyrics describe excitement and enjoyment of many types of men; In contrast, "Bodies" released in 2001 by American rock band Drowning Pool, an ode to the intensity of mosh pits,also enjoyed a good amount of commercial success. Somehow, both songs seem to commemorate the iconic moment in 1998, when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

Real Shittymorph or not, the very fact that someone is trying makes me believe that everything will be okay.

You get my ass every time. Although this one was even more unexpected. Glad to see you here.

Honestly, I dislike both songs. However watching Hell In A Cell on tv with my boys is a memory I will cherish.

You know you found the right online community when you encounter shittymorph. I sure hope it’s the same person.

Even if it isn't as long as we're just doing reincarnations we're cool. Like the avatar.

Cause I'm freeeeeee

Free falling....

[–] marswarrior@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That's hilarious, so many songs about bodies free falling from the sky and hitting the floor, like rain.

I... I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly

[–] NotASucker@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off I listen to the sounds they make on their way down I follow with my eyes 'til they crash

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Into me, baby

And I come into you

In a boys dream

I suppose Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, and Free Falling could fit in too.

Gods damn it, that is greatest thing my ears have ever heard.

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Last time I heard Bodies I was in a CVS parking lot and a pickup truck pulled in blaring it. I nearly lost it when I saw a 40 something dad wearing khakis get out of the truck. Then I realized I was a 40 something dad wearing cargo pants and quietly went back to my car to have a midlife crisis.

JFC this is pure entertainment start to finish. Anytime somebody says 'fair use is BS' they'll get this sent to them.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bodies hitting the floor could be from any height. Raining implies a great height.

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Such Great Heights has entered the chat

Bruh that meme is older than time

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

one side of a storm is a rainbow; the other is dark mettle

[–] BuddhaBeettle@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Imagine if the songs The KKK Took My Baby Away and Fire of Unknown Origin (took my baby away) are talking about one really unfortunate baby that keeps on being taken away by random stuff.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I certainly wouldn't be saying, "hallelujah," if it were raining men. And cleaning up the aftermath would just be horrible. So many corpses...
