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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Alcohol is a cursed potion that makes you think you've increased your Charisma and Intelligence, but it actually decreases Wisdom and Dexterity.

It increases bravery though. This could be important against opponents with high intimidation.

From now on, when I've got a cold and I'm working on fixing bugs in our code while living off coffee and cough syrup, I'm calling it a dungeon crawl.

Cough syrup is a sleeping potion. Sleep is what heals.

Actually adderall is the mana potion. My reiki gets supercharged when I take adderall

Adderall gives you 20% accuracy and speed. Cocaine gives you a 50% speed boost and a damage over time effect.
