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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

Animaniacs huh? You're in for a long celibate life. Put animaniacs in your tinder bio. The first rule of having cock-block hobbies and interests is to never discuss your cock block hobbies and interests. For every cock-block interest you need 3 desirable interests to balance it out. Take up guitar, hiking, and charity work to offset animaniacs. Then, mind the second rule of cock block hobbies.

Interesting, I recited an Animaniacs skit for my wife on our first date. She said that was the moment she fell in love with me.

Pinky and the Brain's Pavlov episode, I sang the teapot song which i only knew from animaniacs and Pinky's dance.

Lol that's cute. I did a Monty Python sketch for my future wife (not on the first date) and she was highly amused.

Remember everyone, do your best to erase your personality and everything that might make you interesting so people might be interested in you.

Mind-blowing that I may be the only one catching the satire here.

(please don't make a fool out of me)

Holy shit that is a bad take. The biggest turnoff in the world is someone acting like something they're not. You also wouldn't want to be with someone who hates you for who you are.
