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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

How do you love something you don't understand!
Tell us you've never been married without telling us you've never been married.
They said love, not loathe.

I love animals even though I can't understand them 🤷🏻♂️
So you can't understand how animals work and what is the point of them?
But you're also an animal
Have you never been in the middle of something and thought to yourself "I don't understand why I am doing this?"
Every morning as I type my login ID and password in my office laptop.
As we speak
Is there any other state?
I've never not.
We have a frequent flyer patient at our hospital who has aphasia, a brain condition which causes nonsense words to come out instead of what the person was intending to say.
We have a NO idea what this person is saying, but his tone of voice and delivery are completely normal even though the content of the words are meaningless. So I can confirm, this guy cracks jokes and is hilarious (he laughs at his own jokes and you can't help but laugh with him.)
The German memes feel similar. I don't understand the words, but the intent is clear enough for me to enjoy seeing them.
Let's hope we'll soon find the cure for the brain condition that makes people speak German 😔🙏
