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.

As a reptile, this offends me.

Your dynamic approach to typing offends me.

His syntactically important whitespace offends me.

Well boys, looks like we've got ourselves a snake case.

Mixed with some Pascal case.

I prefer the term "load-bearing indentation"

I hissed.

(That was genuinely funny, thanks for the chuckle)

Don't make him sound cool.

It's also an anagram of Pete Hitler.

It's well-known that TS Eliot is an anagram of toilets.

More fun s that his full name, Thomas Stearns Eliot, is an anagram of I am a lesson to the arts (and also loathsome train sets)

I'm just saying, "pedophiles are in charge" turned out to be true. Expect this year to find out about how the right wing have been projecting "reptilian conspiracy" too.

The most amazing thing to me is the online pedophile conspiracy culture, the one we worringly laughed at, the one that's obsessively combed the internet and warned us for two decades, got an honest to god pedo cabal thrown in their faces, and...

Cannot see it?

It's so anti climactic.

Clever.

Here’s a good one:

Now I have the intro theme from "V" stuck in my head. Thanks.

"Mark Zuckerberg" -> "cum rag berzerkk"

I'm stealing that.

Either arrangement, still a disgusting delusional chucklefuck.

[–] CannedYeet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I absolutely love this MF DOOM track about the Reptilians conspiracy

https://genius.com/Jj-doom-guvnor-badbadnotgood-remix-lyrics

Also check the original. It's amazing how DOOM will do a remix with the same ideas but all new words. It's like he's rapping circles around everyone else.
