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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Like... In my opinion, a hole is when it does not go through, and when it does, it becomes a tunnel. A straw is a tunnel. A hole in a piece of paper is a tunnel. A bowl is a hole.

Allow me to introduce you to the concepts of "blind holes" and "through holes"...

Personally, I think "butthole" sounds more pleasant than "butt tunnel."

That's because you've only named one end of the tunnel. It's the Mouth-Butt Tunnel.

Now it sounds as if someone is charging tolls.

Oh no now I just thought this a bit more, holes may not even exist, it's either a crater or a hole. Fuck

it’s either a crater or a hole. Fuck

Don't you mean either a crater or a tunnel?

Holes don't exist. It describes a location that lacks the material surrounding it. Kind of like coldness is lack of heat or darkness is lack of light. Cold and dark aren't actual things in the universe.

Did you just watch SNL? You should tag Andy Samberg and tell him this
