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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Boney M is a 1970’s West German disco group known for songs like Rasputin.

The M clearly stands for Mahoney.

Actually, it stands for Mmmbologna

It isn't though. It's named after a character on an Australian TV show, who was named after Napoleon Bonaparte and nicknamed Boney.

Ooooh ok, so then his full name is Napoleon Boney Montana.

I went into a rabbit hole.

Tony Montana is named after Joe Montana.

The name Hannah Montana was made up by Miley Cyrus. The character was originally named Alexis Texas, but they went with her suggestion.

Alexis Texas (the adult film star) is a combination of her actual middle name and the state of Texas where she's from.

You're lying!

I legitimately have no idea how I ought to react to that. 🤔
