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.

If I'm close enough for a hug, I'm already rock hard

A rule 34 enjoyer it seems 😏

Tis the year of the snake, baby

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, the one-eyed yogurt-slinging trouser snake.

[–] [email protected] 103 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I've got a better idea, just never look her in the eye.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

But you're still gonna be rock hard. 😏

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

She’d probably just stab you or something while I was distracted. At least you’ll die doing what you loved?

This opens up a whole world of a Medusa with stone people armor. Her followers embracing different parts of her body and then they gaze into her eyes to become permanent protection.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

So, Meduzord

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Alright, calm down Zordon.

very creative thinking, Please write more

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is she strong enough to break stone?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Depends on what stone you turn into. Slate or lime maybe. Granate or marble, no way.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They never did clarify, did they. I bet it's marble. Would explain why there's so many marble statues from that era (in a more fun way than reality, anyway!)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This opens up a whole new perspective...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The fact that so many of them are naked suggests they all thought Medusa was DTF

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Their clothes could've just rotted away after 3000 years but this is the ancient Greeks were talking about so who knows

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unsupported stone isn't all that strong.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

This guy thinks he's tougher than literal stone

That was damn funny.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don't even have to click the link to know what it is.

I haven't laughed like that from a cartoon for a while. The guy is funny as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I thought this was going to be a Doctor Who reference.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That was amazing! Hahahahahahahahha

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's an entire channel of these animations and that one is actually one of the worst ones lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Mate, you're sending me down a rabbit hole lol

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretty sure she could find a way of breaking your statue body. She could just lean and tip you over; that’d probably be enough to create a fracture and then she can get free.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You gotta get hard and fuck her before you look into her eyes, so you have an attachment point inside as well.

You're dead if you're that close and going for a hug.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

A true showerthought

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

You just use a mirror. Geez, people, read your mythology!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

As a wise man once said β€” everybody must get stoned.
