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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I’m gonna go pay my respects to grandma she’s in the towns bonescraper. Smash cut to a giant tower made of skeletons.
Aliens come down to that kind of society, they’d want to party with us because that’s metal as fuck
Like this one in Brazil?
Have a big reservoir at the bottom that collects all the water runoff and uses it for the city water supply.
Bone water. Yummy.

Yes
You want metal as fuck? Check out these dudes and dudettes

Well have you seen some of the catacombs we do have. Skull piles, bone art, all pretty metal right there too. But not a skyscraper metal.
could you imagine a skyscraper of coffins & skeletons collapsing? LOL would be fucking nuts
When I die please arrange my remains on the Bonescraper in the essence of a skeletal gargoyle ty
