Same for those who hear the music in their heads whenever they see the title.

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:
- 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.

Its been stuck in my head since I thought of this.

It clearly says Rick. Why do you attempt such low-effort humor?
the game. you've also lost that too.
I see people say this online, and I've seen it online for 20+ years. I don't get the game. And apperently, it's not the same game we used to play in middle school. You know the one. I tried playing that game at work, where you just run up to someone, reach your hands down someones pants, shove several fingers into their butthole, and yell YATZEE! if you manage all 5. My supervisor at work was NOT amused.
So if this game isn't that game, and it's not the other game, I don't know what the game is, or why people say I just lost the game.
..........is this about that rapper from the early 2000s? Did he die? Did we lose him?
It's been months. ...my mom is my biggest villain in my journey to winning the game.
Why dude why? I had gone for 2 years. Why???
Learning to read at all is just opening yourself up to all sorts of new avenues of attack.
Well eating the fruit from tree of knowledge was a pretty big sin..
I... Walked right into that one.
It was a post talking about "Never Gonna Give You Up." It mentions Rick rolling on click.
Clicked the damn link anyway.
I love the internet
Don't have to recognize the whole URL. XcQ, link stays blue.
Never understood the joke anyway, though.
...W_XcQ
Yeah I can hear it.
Maybe the next generation of Rickrolling should involve providing a link to a real video but disguising it to look like the Rickroll link?
Reverse rickrolling. Only works if rickrolling is still a thing, otherwise people will just click the link ;)
Kinda feels like losing the game, doesn't it?
Jokes on them, I love that song!
Yeah, but the video is godawful!
You're not going to get it from any other guy.
Yeah, my kids tried to Rick Roll me
I turn the volume to 11 and play it back to back for 2 hours
Love getting Rick rolled, that song slaps
My ex once got rickrolled in a public bus. I said the song is cool and kept it playing on speakerphone. The whole bus genuinely enjoyed it (people singing along), nobody complained :)
Personally, I love the song, but for those who don't:
