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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

"He's had the clap so many times that at this point it's more like applause"
applause with your mouth
Did we forget the word "cheering"?
I like "applause with your mouth."
It's the difference between a standing ovation and "you can do it!"
Or conversely, applause is just an orgasm with your hands.
Now I want to know what is the equivalent of booing during Sex?
Farting.
That's just gonna happen naturally if you're doing it right. Why not just actually boo them? 🤷🏻♂️
"Boo! Boo I say! That's not how you suck dick, you amateur!"
That's my kink.
"My fantasy is to be with Statler and Waldorf at the same time."
I want to see this in a porn titled "Virgin 18 year old sucks cock for the first time"
As weird as this whole topic is, I too want to know the boo equivalent now.
This makes the US state of the union address somehow even more disturbing.
Is there nowhere on the internet I can go without an explicit reference to U.S. politics?
jlai.lu, ~~maybe~~ peut-être ?
There is not.
I only put US specifically because I don't know how other countries do it. The joke was just about a bunch of politicians having an orgasm after every sentence lol
I had hoped that Lemmy would be slightly less US centric than the rest of the online communities, but nope. Wish they could all join a US Lemmy instance so I could just block it there.
Nah. We're going to serve you apple pie and crippling medical debt! The American way!
Now pay us $65,000 for the insulin you need from eating our American pie. You're now 300lbs, and have diabetus....
Considering we're all actively being fucked by this administration......
Weird that you picked this specific example instead of any of the many events that involve applause.
It's called comedy good sir
Fuh fuh fuh, hmmmm yes. Jolly good.
Because of the people it involves, it almost never is genuine applause for one and the thought of just one political party having all their representatives "orgasm" after every single line that is said while the other sits there silent or disgruntled adds to the humor.
damn right
