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.

I don't even watch wrestling. Just the idea of an elbow drop is hilarious to me. Like the rocks people elbow.

I actually did watch a WWE thing on Hulu recently. I made it about 22 min. They took a commercial break during the match.

Tbh, my first thought was to use my old one. Then I really went for a fresh start, and actually I like this one better.

Technically you can have any username you would ever like, just spin up your own instance!

Yeah no way hose. Changing the name here would be admitting to myself that it was a stupid nickname back then. I mean, i know it was a stupid nickname but admitting it is a step too far.

[–] francisfordpoopola@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (4 children)

May I mention that "hose" most likely should be "Jose" spoken with a Spanish pronunciation?

A wizard does not change his username, he carries it with the same pride or shame that one does of any nickname earned in highschool-college.
