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.

It makes me sad to see it smile.

What if my poop is angry or sad?

F*ck this shit. ☹️

Why is it anything? Poop shouldn't have a face.

Really, "poop" should be a combining modifier, so you can use it to make a poop version of any emoji.

WAIT A MINUTE.

That's very Japanese etc etc yes but

IT EVEN MADE AN APPEARANCE IN DRAGONBALL RIGHT?! I think there was an arc or story or just an even shorter segment in which Goku meets a few of Dr Slumps characters! And the poop is pink? Possibly on a stick, held by Arare? Oh my... This was such a blast to the past.

Thank you for making me feel better 🤣🥰

it did yeah! in my translation of the manga it was in the art section at the end so it's probably not canon, but it was in there

That poop probably grew up in the 1970s when people like Leo Buscaglia were more common role models.

Yaaay a smiling poop with the values of the 70's... Please remind me, had the postwar hubris calmed down by the 70's or was there another decade left before the bubble popped?

Edit: I will never forgive myself for missing that "popped/pooped" opportunity...

Post war? Buddy, we were already onto a new war! Because in the USA, you're nrver post war. There's always another war tomorrow.
