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.

We should commission something good.

I don’t think any existing song is good enough nor should it be dragged down by the association.

Ween - You Fucked Up

Lyrics:

You fucked up, you bitch
You really fucked up
You fucked up
You fucking Nazi whore

Well, you dicked me over
But now you'll pay
You fucked up
Aaaahhh!

You fucked up, you bitch
You really fucked up
You fucked up
You [slimy] little shit bitch fuck

Well, you dicked me over
But now you'll pay
You fucked up
Aaaahhh!
Well, you dicked me over
But now you'll pay
You fucked up
Aaaahhh!

We can adapt one of theirs, how about "Tamp the dirt down" by Elvis Costello?

Something around there being a new toilet in the country but with the music from The Sound Of Music?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I've been thinking "Dancing in the Street"

Ding Dong the rapist's dead?

You worthless bitch

You fickle shit

You will spit on me

You will make me spit

And when the Judas howl, arise

And like the Jesus Jews, you epitomize

I'll still be here as strong as you

And I'll walk away in spite of you -bauhaus (Crowds)

ding dong the bitch is dead

Perhaps they can use Lily Allen's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFE6qQ3ySXE -- she's from UK but oh well

May I suggest the orchestra song from Joey Quits? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A4UGtM4hDQ

Seems to have the kind of celebratory vibe that would be warranted

It's gotta be something kids can sing. But what's another way of saying orange fuck ass motherfucker in a socially acceptable way?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The poo pants man is dead!
The poo pants man is dead!
His pants are clean
The country's keen
Cause orange man has bled!

It'd be fitting since we adopted other songs for our national anthems.

Na na na na

Na na na na

Hey hey hey

Goodbye

So I hadn't heard this song and went looking for it. There are so many songs celebrating her death. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/04/7-songs-margaret-thatcher-funeral-playlist/

Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about "the waiting is the hardest part" seems appropriate.

I’m not saying “ding dong the witch is dead” wasn’t a perfect capture of the sentiment, but it’s also really hard to improve on “Lizzie’s in a box” for the sheer ability to send the most insufferable people on the planet into a frothing rage.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

How about "Witch, watch, the ding dong's dead" instead?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

It's a real shame they stuck this song on the end of a long video. The video is neat but the music video at the end is an absolute banger. Skip to 22:30 if the timestamped link doesn't work.

All news media have stuff ready for when a famous person pops their clogs. Various versions, usually.

I'm pretty sure when he keels over it'll A. be his fault and B. lead to an avalanche of conspiracy theories probably inspiring terrorist attacks. It will not be a day of rejoicing for me.

How about "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang? "Celebrate good times, come on!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

That's what I'll be playing, that's for sure!

Union Dixie?

Is Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead only for women?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I can’t wait! This song comes to mind in the interim. https://youtu.be/Dbnm-0r3suM

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Ding dong the witch is dead. I remember that. Good Times.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Ding dong the orange is dead

Ding dong the dick is dead.

Idk but do you think his burial place will be accesible by the General public? Id like to plan shitting on it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

But first, put on a bunch of corpse flower sculptures on it so people know where to shit and piss.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I imagine the grounds staff will put gravel over that grave. No way grass will ever survive that amount of urine.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You will get arrested for public nudity. Package it up beforehand and spread/drop it.

I will be bottling urine myself so I can piss on his grave. We may bump into each other.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I want to get arrested when I shit Taco Bell diarrhea all over his headstone. Need to have official proof that I did it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Damn! You would have legal proof!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

And lots of articles as bragging rights!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't want to make your noble task more unpleasant... But have you considered concentrating it down a bit? Less hassle, more pee scent!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Always eat your veggies first. I recommend asparagus.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Get Gwyneth paltrows people on making a candle that smells like that. Or those little glass stink bombs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I was thinking catheter and some tubing down the leg with a valve at the end.
