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.

But if you do it at least you had sex.

**limit one per virgin.

Hang in there. They both lose pretty much any insult value in after one is out of their teens

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

In and of themselves? Yes. But, I think anything can still be offensive if they hurl it at you the right way. Though the offense taken is the feeling of disrespect and knowing their intent, more than the word. If someone called me a bed sheet in the right tone, I'd still be upset. lol

That's like 10% racist and I don't know how to explain why

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Why would I care what a pinecone fondler has to say about it?

Quick edit: I'm gonna have to stop because I'll accidentally come up with a hurtful one and then I'll feel terrible.

Thanks for stopping lantern fiddler.

I absolutely love that people around here have a sense of humor. I needed some silly bullshit after the past few days.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

In case no one told you, you've wandered into "silly bullshit central" on the internet. Welcome, have a beer, find a comfy chair!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe it's because I've been married for decades and I have a kid, but I cannot imagine any situation in which I would find someone calling me a virgin to be offensive. Just very, very odd.

Only fuckers use virgin as an insult.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Does that also mean that only virgins use fucker as a insult?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fuck has many meanings, "That fucking virgin" is an acceptable sentence to make that wouldn't be considered a contradiction

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"That virgin's fucking" is also an acceptable sentence that wouldn't be considered a contradiction. But only once.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If they're mid first fuck, are they still virgins until they finish? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

No, despite what many Mormons tell themselves.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

I've always been amused at the idiots who hit on a girl, get rejected, and then call the woman a whore for not sleeping with them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

"Fucker" is the same as "motherfucker," it just has an implied "mother"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Fuck virgins

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I’m quite comfortable being damned, I’ll be with all my friends :)
