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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What version of this story did you read?

All three houses are finished by the time the wolf arrives.

The story goes the first two pigs were lazy and while the 3rd pig worked to build his brick house, the other two fucked about and danced or whatever, even teased the third pig in some iterations.

The first two pigs got their asses saved by their brother who actually worked hard to do it right. The first two weren't valiant, they were lucky.

You who are so wise in the ways of pig fiction: how does a wolf blow when it has no lips?

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Beasty farts. It's that all pig diet.

Wolves have lips though….?

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well there is a way to test if the wolves blows or not....

I heard peanut butter doesn't help very much with blowing. It does help with other issues.

It's very "toothy" and not at all enjoyable, but he really does put the effort in.

The moral of the story is do a nepotism. Have rich family, mooch off them.

It's good you've come, the house is getting a bit cramped now with three of us living here.
