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.

I'm also trusting billions of freeloading foreigners (bacteria) to help digest the food in my intestinal tract and not go rogue or provoke cancer on a daily basis.

Have you worked in a restaurant? You ever drink a Slurpee?

Trust me, you're alright eating plenty of things you wouldn't do consciously. I'm trusting my immune system to be able to fight off whatever contaminants it finds more than the people in the whole line of farm to plate.

Funny we hug a line between mass acceptance that you don’t fuck with food and selfish behaviour around disease.

“Wear a hair net.”

“Of course.”

“Wear a mask.”

“Fuck you, let’s wreck the planet.”

"Wear a condom"

"Okay."

"That's a candy bar wrapper and a rubber band...."

"SAME CONCEPT ASHLEY!!! GOD!!!"

Every time you breathe you hope people have not farted in your general direction.
