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.

Words that rhyme with Trump: chump, grump, slump, bump, rump, lump, hump, Gump, dump, frump(y), pump, thump, clump, stump...

For Don: gone, pawn, prawn, fong, jong, con, QAnon, Mastadon...

There's some pretty inspiring stuff to work with here for sure.

I recommend the failure horns from the Price is Right.

We've got a song for Boris Johnson too

I’d suggest ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams

Ha. I have a 4 act playlist ready!

We'd be a little late to the party, think she's been dead for a while.

Trump's should be a series of farts, shit dumps and loud pissing.

I'd put good money on there already being some pretty good bangers waiting in the vault.

"Bangers in the Vault", another British classic about Margaret Thatcher.

He doesn't deserve it. I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

It's not for him, it's for everyone who had to survive.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would piss on his grave, though

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Okay, but let me shit on it first, please.

Now now. Let's not be rude here! The back of the queue is three times round the block!

I’m not so sure. Get a few dozen full honey trucks that have been roasting in the sun for a few weeks, and have ‘em unload on him. That seems like a fitting purpose for sewage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well now you're just making a mess. Just drop him in one of the tanks to something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I’m not trying to be nice about the death of the fascist, and mar-a-fucko’s already a steaming pile of shit, so there wouldn’t be much difference by dumping on him there.

I worked for a manufacturer on the engineering side for a while, and we had this absolute manipulator cunt in HR, basically throwing the CEO's name around like it was a pass to commit murder.

Once the CEO found out some of the shit she pulled, he dropped the ban hammer immediately. It was such a relief to us all, we were literally skipping and hopping in the hallways shouting "ding dong! the witch is dead!" It was a great moment until we realized a few months later half of the shit she did actually came from him and nothing really changed.

That last point may or may not be relevant to current times.

Yeah that's the worst he was not mad at the actions he was made she was throwing his name around. She was ment to be plausible deniability.

Exactly, you get what I'm trying to say. That and it isn't just one person/entity that is the issue.
