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.

You really didn't have to hit post on this one, yeesh

The people have a right to know

*repost this one

I had seen this many-a-time on Reddit (it’s a site that’s like Lemmy but shittier)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Your correction doesn't make sense, there's no repost button.

meme of a confused grandma saying you really didn't have to hit repost this one

But yeah, I've seen this on Reddit few years ago.

I just woke up and you chose to share this with me.

Now imagine if they were kissing each others buttholes.. its an infinite loop

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

I think topologists call it a torus.

If each human has 7/8 openings . Two humans kissing have 14-16 openings .. you basically have a bagpipe!

Update: 12-14 available openings.. we lose two for the kissing.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe it's because I haven't had coffee yet, but could you do the math for me? 12-14 doesn't seem right.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Male 7: 1 mouth, 2 nostrils, 2 ears, 1 anus, 1 urethra

Female 8: 1 mouth, 2 nostrils, 2 ears, 1 anus, 1 urethra, 1 vagina

Male/Male Kissing : 7+7-2: 12 openings

Male/Female Kissing: 7+8-2: 13 openings

Female/Female Kissing: 8+8-2: 14 openings

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But if we are going by topology logic the vagina isn't a true hole it's caped by the womb init so it's at most a cave

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

Ears terminate at the eardrum

Urethra terminates at the bladder.

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

There's a tube connecting your ears to your mouth and urine has to make it from your digestion to bladder

Got it. I thought you meant 12-14 openings each, and I was arguing semantics to myself about what could possibly be considered "openings" to make the number that big.

Good, thank you.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Vagina probably wouldn't be considered a hole but a cleft in this situation. Everything else in that list is connected to the digestive system in some way but not the vagina.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What part do nostrils and ears play in the digestive system?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

The ears are connected to the throat via the Eustachian tubes. Those tubes are the reason why you can swallow and equalize the pressure in your ears when you are diving or in an airplane. Noses are connected via the sinus cavities.

Also, kissing while having anal sex is sucking your own dick through a straw.

That's cool, but the best trick is kissing during vaginal sex and blowing down her throat to get a nice warm breeze across your balls.

I think I've had enough internet for today.

Thanks for that.

Saw this question on reddit that I thought was a joke but has haunted me ever since.

Are we donuts?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

From an evolutionary standpoint, yeah, we're donuts or tubes. It was either that or cups. Those creatures, like sea anemones eat and expel, erm, waste out of the same hole.

An example of a fellow tube is a sea cucumber

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

Topologically, a human has 7 holes.

Topologists say the darnest things.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why I cut out the middle-man and kiss that asshole.

With enough yoga and practice if you kiss your own ass, you'll rupture space time continuum and create a point of singularity.

How many men connecting their penises into their butts would it take to form a complete circle?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (9 children)

According to this , I would say it's about nine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes the good ol' days. Just people living in the moment. Not a cellphone in sight.

My organs have valves on them, so this doesn't apply to me.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Flip one of those bad boys around and baby, you've got a centipede going!

[–] phoenixz 9 points 1 year ago

Thanks internet, I missed ya

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

so when you kiss your anus becomes a mouth. there's a a south park episode in there somewhere

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I want to subscribe to your newsletter.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the insight. Now I will always think of this when I see people kiss.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I laughed more than I am proud. The wife says that it is disgusting. I agree

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I don't like this
