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.

I'm doing well. I have a good life. But holy shit, I'm so tired. The world is so terrible and I'm just fed up. I wish I could just check out and take a break, but it keeps going. Cheers.

He hears the silence howling

Catches angels as they fall

And the all-time winner

Has got him by the balls

Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible

Open at page one

I said, God, he stole the handle and,

The train it won't stop goin'

No way to slow down

No way to slow down

No way to slow down

I've never heard this song, but it can be sung to the tune of Folsom prison

Just listen to the song and you’ll hear rock music’s best and worst flutist at the same time.
