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.

Archeologists will find pits of boobs, lips and buttocks and write books about butt lifts.

My theory is it's all a terra forming plan to lift Florida out of flooding using silicone floatation and shoe lifts.

Funfact: The voice actor reacted to this mod. :D

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 47 points 3 days ago

Those are natural!

I never played bg but according to wiki it's a he. So he got a sex change? If you're undead I guess that's trivial. A bit of duct tape.

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 63 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It was a mod to give him "big naturals"

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 32 points 3 days ago

Impressive. Most impressive

[–] starchylemming@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

treat yourself to a nice 1000 hour adventure. just install that mod before your first run. so its your canon

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 1 points 2 days ago

Thanks. I might

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

What, you don't have boob-bones?

So those halloween displays where the woman skeleton is given breasts are accurate after all!

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 71 points 3 days ago

My flesh is temporary but these tits are eternal.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 58 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Those actually get reused. There hasn't been a new pair of silicone boobies manufactured in the past ten years. It's also one of the most common reason for hauntings.

[–] LemmyThinkAboutIt@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

That's why they're called boooobies

Bones do rot, just more slowly than flesh.

[–] MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

If you want to be really specific, bones do not rot per se. They go trough diagenesis, where collagen and minerals breakdown over long periods.

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Silicone too for that matter, what with proton decay and all that.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Technically, silicone does not rot. It breaks down into smaller materials but does not decompose into its base components like organic material.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Well, those are macroplastics.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And what do the macroplastics break down into?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

In this case? Erections.

Isn't proton decay unproven so far? we have some hyopthetical mechanisms but the universe hasn't even existed for long enough to run an experiment on it.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It’s like OP has never heard of morticians.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Imagine they take them out and dispose of them separately, and some dude finding out at the open casket that his wife was packing fakes for their entire marriage and being outraged.

It's like a bad sitcom plot.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you ever watch Session 9?

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Never even heard of it until now. Did I accidentally steal a plot-point from it? lol

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Sort of, but it's a stretch on my part. The premise of the movie is that some people have been hired to clean an abandoned psychiatric hospital and, well, some things go wrong.

At some point one of the cleaners finds the crematorium and collects various leftovers from it. That's the extremely tenuous connection I was making.

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, we are actually removing them and return to the families in a separate package.

Source - I made this up for your entertainment.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I choose to believe your fib because the thought of grieving families keeping granny's fake tits next to her ashes on the mantlepiece is too funny.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's not only funny, it also stabilizes the mantelpiece during an earthquake and prevents the urn from toppling over.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Yeah I definitely don't not regret that I didn't decide to not not read that comment.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

They stay with the corpse as far as I'm aware. There's a mortician on IG who answers questions and I'm pretty sure this was one of them.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What?

I mean, obviously bones rot, but you think silicone implants last forever?

[–] umt@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I mean, they will not "rot" as microorganisms cannot digest silicone.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (10 children)

But they'll rupture and leak...

Like, they're not even a "lifetime" thing, go 20 years and you're risking it. Most are recommended to be replaced after a decade, maybe 15 years. Which isn't that long for a major surgery and why they're almost always insured.

I knew a stripper back in the day that would basically beat people up with them, because if it ruptured she got new ones free, and if they didn't rupture soon, they'd last long enough she'd have to pay for new ones out of pocket....

Because they're not a permanent thing.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (6 children)

I would imagine that any artificial thing (including implants) could last forever when left undisturbed for any given length of time.

Your argument hinges on use and abuse; not something typical inside of a casket, buried 6-feet underground.

~There are exceptions to every rule. 😱~

[–] starik@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

Pretty much everything oxidizes and breaks down. Being non-biodegradable just means bacteria won’t eat it.

Heady times for the patient necrophile.
