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.

Referring to furries by their fursona is way closer.

So is it 'Medic & pig-baby saver' or 'medic-pig-baby saver'

Or 'medic-pig baby-saver'

Medic(paramedic) pig(guy) baby saver(I have saved & delivered human babies).

You can deliver hundreds of human babies, nobody call you baby saver… but you fuck one lousy goat…

Luckily, I've not been seduced by a goat.

Although, for several years, my local American football team had a GOAT as the QB.

The car community 20 years ago was pretty great. It was forum usernames, unfortunate nicknames and types of car.

"Hey Mark3, is Goldrex and Shithat coming tonight or is it just Giantslayer and White FTO?" Was a perfectly reasonable sentence.

The last thing you should call Internet "personalities" is heroes lmao

If anything they are closer to villains

Not really, it’s more of just a stage name which is nothing at all new or groundbreaking.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I don't know about you guys but I have a different name when I'm out fighting crime.
