I feel like saying the full thing relieves some of the stress caused by said unfucked shit
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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
There are studies, I think, about swearing out loud actually reducing the subjective feeling of pain or discomfort
It can also reduce stress
There's also a correlation with the sounds of said swearwords. Which tent to be more sharp and concussive. That's why "Fuck that shit" feels better than "Damn this mess"
My mom always said things like, "That guy is one tough motorscooter!"
That's why I like long drives alone
I have started unironically saying idgaf in sentences. Often when "fuck this shit" would fit as well. But fts isn't really easy to pronounce, where idgaf is pronounceable.
Are you saying id-gaff or I-D-G-A-F?
id-gaf
I.D. Gaf
still I think saying "I don't give a FUUCK" is more satisfying
Though I agree, it's also interesting to see reactions when people don't initially understand, then think through it and realize what it means.
My fave internet initials are IANAL, which I pronounce as "I anal".
We're talking chris tucker here, right? Cause I'm with you.
idk who he is
FTS? fuck that
possibly because it could be easily confused with 'fix this shit'?
Who knows, theres no real rhyme or reason to how lingo evolves, somethings get popular, other don't others go through popularity waves and other totally change meaning.
For example, the origin of the phrase 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' is, in its original context, meant to denote something that is obviously impossible.
You cant pull your feet up so hard you'll float or fly. Its like the modern nonsense propulsion/infinite energy memes from 4chan or plugging a power strip into itself to power it
But, nowadays, it means basically 'do something difficult and unpleasant', wíth the implication that 'i did it, so can you, if you cant or dont, there must be something wrong with you'.
Almost the opposite of its original meaning.
