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.

Same for those who hear the music in their heads whenever they see the title.

It clearly says Rick. Why do you attempt such low-effort humor?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (3 children)

the game. you've also lost that too.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

I see people say this online, and I've seen it online for 20+ years. I don't get the game. And apperently, it's not the same game we used to play in middle school. You know the one. I tried playing that game at work, where you just run up to someone, reach your hands down someones pants, shove several fingers into their butthole, and yell YATZEE! if you manage all 5. My supervisor at work was NOT amused.

So if this game isn't that game, and it's not the other game, I don't know what the game is, or why people say I just lost the game.

..........is this about that rapper from the early 2000s? Did he die? Did we lose him?

It's been months. ...my mom is my biggest villain in my journey to winning the game.

Why dude why? I had gone for 2 years. Why???

Learning to read at all is just opening yourself up to all sorts of new avenues of attack.

Well eating the fruit from tree of knowledge was a pretty big sin..

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

I... Walked right into that one.

It was a post talking about "Never Gonna Give You Up." It mentions Rick rolling on click.

Clicked the damn link anyway.

I love the internet

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Don't have to recognize the whole URL. XcQ, link stays blue.

Never understood the joke anyway, though.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

...W_XcQ

Yeah I can hear it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe the next generation of Rickrolling should involve providing a link to a real video but disguising it to look like the Rickroll link?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Reverse rickrolling. Only works if rickrolling is still a thing, otherwise people will just click the link ;)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Jokes on them, I love that song!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the video is godawful!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You're not going to get it from any other guy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, my kids tried to Rick Roll me

I turn the volume to 11 and play it back to back for 2 hours

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Kinda feels like losing the game, doesn't it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Love getting Rick rolled, that song slaps

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

My ex once got rickrolled in a public bus. I said the song is cool and kept it playing on speakerphone. The whole bus genuinely enjoyed it (people singing along), nobody complained :)
