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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Yours is my favorite here. Clever and subtly suggestive.

Finely aged brandy to the jägerbombs in this thread, like @SatansMaggotyCumFart.

Decided this time to go with my gamertag. I made it in middle school like 17 years ago. I'll be very amused if you/anyone can guess what original flash era video inspired it.

Wheeeeeeeee! If that makes no sense, it's not that one haha

[–] GONADS125@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha, nice! figured that wouldn't be too hard given the age range here!

The 125 is a Monty Python Holy Hand Grenade reference. Was playing a lot of Worms Armageddon at the time too, and first used that screen name on Battlefield 1942. Fuck I feel old!

Haha I remember playing the Lemmings game on an Amiga, Lemmy reminds me of that!
