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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I was in 3rd or 4th grade at the time and happened to be sick that day. Freaked me out that people were going to think I did it.

Oh god, I can't tell if that would be an epic prank, or a traumatizing nightmare.

Your teacher gets a cop, and all your classmates to go in it. Everyone acts like you did it.

Then a cop comes in, and arrests you. Throws you into the back of his car....then DRIVES YOU TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!

Which, might be kind of a long drive now that I think about it. I have no idea where you lived in 1995.

I did not forget about them, but I felt I gave enough examples to where I drove my point home
