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.

I'm assuming it's his barrel.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah then it'd be Cracker's Barrel

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't really thinking he owned the barrel, but just that the name reflected what was on it's logo: "Cracker, Barrel" but without the comma to add flow.

It was named by the same guy who coached Trump on public speaking. He runs an agency called "Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV Industries"

Josiah H. Cracker, esq.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 15 points 2 months ago

No the guy named cracker is in the barrel.

[–] nixon@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Crackers came in barrels, honestly that is the real answer. Back in the day it was how crackers were packaged/stored/shipped.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So they shipped a bunch of white guys over in barrels? Weird. I didn't know that.

[–] nixon@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

I know, right?

Seems like there would be a better way but I guess that’s just how things were before cardboard was invented.

He had one hit. That's more than me, but I would not call him famous.

Not with that attitude!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

Depends on the hit

It's Uncle Cracker

If history serves me correctly, his first name is Uncle and if you follow him everything will be alright.
