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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

My ex wife prefered snap chat.

So you know, I just happened to get traumatized by another dudes dick in my wife's phone after her nude photos I've never seen. I don't know who he was other than her admitting it was a guy she cheated on me with 5 years ago.

No I'm not over it. Its been over a year, and because of the toxic nature of our relationship I don't have confidence to go out there and meet other people. It's fine, I'm fine. I've got video games and a shower to cry in.

But fuck smartphones. I hate this goddamn technology more than I hate my ex.

I'm sorry, man :/ I hope you feel better some day soon - it'll all pass! I'm sure you've heard all the platitudes before tho. What games you playing ATM? 👀

Elden Ring, Helldivers when I need to calm down from Elden Ring, and Factorio when I need to cool it from Helldivers.

I sprinkle in a little Diablo IV and No Man's Sky too

It takes a long time for that hurt to go away. It eventually will, mostly.

Take your time. It'll be better.

That sucks. But it also happened before smartphones. Ask me how I know.
