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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Surely "white guy blinking.gif" is easier done than said for most of us.

Yesterday, my sunglasses fell off my face.

I reflexively shut my eyes while lunging my arms forward, accidentally shoving my wife and flinging my glasses several feet to my left.

That was easier done than said.

Not if you have a speech impediment.

Or if you need to talk to someone.

Counter-thought: Some few things I actually find really really hard to express but easy to think of in my own mind

Saying this sentence is exactly as easy as saying this sentence.

There’s gotta be a word that’s really hard to pronounce but means something incredibly easy to do.

Sitting and holding your right hand in front of you at a comfortable angle while bending your index finger on that hand while letting the rest of your fingers rest at whatever angle is comfortable.
