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.

What the fuck kind of shallow-brained adolescent nonsense is this?

Average Lemmy posting. It used to be a lot better

"Used to be". Dude, you've been here less than a year.

You're proving my point without realizing it. Also this is not my main account

One of them got mad because I cursed, we really have been overrun by highschoolers.

Maybe the kids will all fuck off soon? Maybe?

Maybe people can respond to silliness without cursing, regardless of their opinions.

Ohhhhhh someone cursed! Call the police!!

I'm sorry you can't take a mildly dirty joke. It must be wonderful living without any sort of a sense of humor.

At least I'm not expressing immature angry words at people for no good reason. If you don't find my words humorous, you can freely move on without stirring a fuss.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Oh, it was supposed to be a joke. I see.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Laugh, grimace, or down vote if you must, but I keep one handy and it works wonders. Clog-free in '23!

If you tenderize the meat before you eat it you shouldn't have to tenderize it after it comes back out.

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

Who said anything about a meat tenderizer? I said kitchen hammer, distinctly different tool. You know, the thing you smack the butcher knife with when separating frozen meat.

I see we equip our kitchens a little differently, that's okay though. Just make sure to keep your kitchen tools and your restroom tools in their separate environments at all times. 👍

Are you assuming I have a poop hammer?

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

What, you don't?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who the fuck that actually cooks doesn't have a kitchen hammer?

Like, at the very least you have a meat tenderizer, though those are for pussies. Real cooks grab a nice 3 or 4 pound sledge. I use a kobalt with a well padded handle, myself. Also handy for food critics.

You want a fucking paillard you can cut with a fork? Sledge that fucker. Ideally after brining.

Who said anything about a meat tenderizer? Kitchen hammer is what you smack the butcher knife with when separating frozen meat, totally different tool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Same hammer! You get a good sledge, and there's no end to what you can whack. Everything becomes a nail, in essence.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Poop knife is a must have. But what am i missing out on with a kitchen hammer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Just get a decent sledge and go ham on your ham.

Tenderize the fuck out of everything. Steaks, chicken, pork, fish, eggs, bread, small children, milk, watermelons, you name it.

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

Tenderizes steak. Advice, don't use the hammer in the restroom, and don't use the knife in the kitchen..

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

Clearly the poop hammer is for the restroom to ensure you have fork tender poops and the kitchen knife is for cutting summer sausage into manageable chunks.
