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.

Prides are lions. Alice in wonderland mentions momewraths.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

could just rename some animals. Honey badgers could be a good candidate for Wraths.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Badger, badger, badger, badger...

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

If cats are any sin, it is pride without a doubt. Hell a specific kind of big cat is already called a pride when they're in a group

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Hugely depends on the cat. Some that I've known are wraths, but most are sweethearts (who like to take Attack of Opportunity)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

okay. So a sloth is a furry animal that moves very slowly. Please tell me what the other things look like.

A pride is a group of lions that live together.

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

Someone told me once that even if we could speak to a lion it wouldn't understand it.

I am not picturing a Who's on first, what's on second situation with explaining a pride parade to a lion.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean... you can speak to lions.

You can't speak with them, but you can speak to them.

I just spent the night speaking to my brother's cat.

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

I'm pretty sure my Dad's cat is really a glutton.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Cuberoot 8 points 1 year ago

Gluttons exist; their modern name is wolverine.

Honey badgers, dolphins, pigs, cats, peacocks, and billionaires

Would Envies be songbirds that mimic other birds? Also, parrots

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

I would throw ferrets, weasles or trash pandas for the slot as they are known to like stealing things.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

But would that be Envy or Greed? I guess it would depend on whether they steal it because they want to have it or because they don't want you to have it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's only logical

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

Where are the lusts? Asking for a friend.

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

But also of thinkers, movers and content creators.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Movers and shakers and YouTube content makers

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

Animal lusts definitely exist

Only if you're Catholic and give a shit about the Bible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No it doesn't.
