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

I was listening to a Weird Al song about prank calls and realized you can’t really do them anymore now. Also it was funny that he mentioned dialing 7 digit numbers instead of 10

We just called businesses instead, during lunch time at school, since they don't block unknown numbers. We were starting on algebra and they showed us how to calculate the radius the area etc. So to us it was the funniest thing to call a pizza place and order a 4-2x(12π) sized pizza or something like that. That and calling completely unrelated businesses and ordering a pizza also

As someone who managed a ridiculously busy pizza place. Fuck you from the bottom of my heart. I'm convinced that job took years off my life from stress and the constant prank calls totally fucked up production.

Really though you were just a kid and couldn't have known. But I cussed some kids out in ways they'd never heard.
