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

Someone not named Frank: "If you will allow me to be frank..."

Frank: "But I'm Frank. You can't be me!"

To be frank:

If you tell a person named Josh that you are just joshing them after telling them something incredible, they want to kill you, but usually don't.

There.

I was frank, but I'm not Frank.

Fucking English I hate this language sometimes.

Or they have an identity crisis where they don't feel like themselves so instead it is a small, quiet plea to be the person they see in the mirror.

"To be Frank. If only..."
