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 must be out of the loop did something happen w/ Jack Black?

[–] kernelle@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Apparently when KG was blowing out his birthday candles on stage they asked him to make a wish, and he said "Don't miss Trump next time". JB is working on his clean image and stepped away, I don't think they have any beef tbh, but the D is on hold atm. source

Yeah same. Before I opened this comment section I've never even heard of a person that dislikes JB.

Is the d back together again? If not, I don't want to hear it!

I mean if i was kyle gass id tell jack black to go fuck himself. He made a big fit over a simple joke when his whole shtick(before being a literal clown for Disney(tm)) was being an 'edgy' comedian who writes songs that are supposed to be offensive.

Lots of times when me and KG are watching

All the fucking shit that goes down at City Hall

We get the feeling we should fuck shit up

Yeah, we should fucking start a riot

A riot!

And the song continues to tell about the destruction of the government, with the implication that previous leaders are dead. It's obviously a joke song, and when KG made the joke on stage it should have been taken just the same, but Hollywood Jack stepped in and thought about all of the movie deals he was gonna miss out on... like fucking Minecraft... Yeah. I love Jack, and I wish him the best, but I am on KG's side, and if they haven't fixed this shit on a personal level, and Kage comes out with some shit about Jack sucking, I'm gonna wave goodbye to the D.

Jack Black on Yo Gabba Gabba is legendary.

Because you need to see it again: https://youtu.be/J2tSninyn5Y

Edit: Whoever downvotes Jack Black on Yo Gabba Gabba is my sworn enemy.

I mean do you know for a fact he isn't depressed? Comedians tend to do a pretty good job covering it up.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 46 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Didn’t he have Lewy Body Dementia? As I understand, depression is a symptom, but the disease is far deeper than that.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 44 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He was pretty open about struggling with depression for most of his life.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Shit. I didn’t know that. I always thought the dementia lent to the depression.

Man. What a tragic end. I think I’m going to do a deep dive on his life soon. I have such admiration for him.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think the dementia diagnosis lead to his suicide but I think his life-long struggles with depression made him relatable enough to be a comedian that could become successful and not lose that relatability, unlike some one like Jerry Seinfeld.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Oh I absolutely agree! Mental health colors art. In all forms. From comedy, to fashion, to traditional art, to music… art seen through the lens of depression is relatable to almost everyone at some point in their life.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It’s the internet, you’re not supposed to agree.

You’re supposed to call me a dumbass and explain in detail why.

[–] puppy@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're a dumbass and I'm certain you're just like your namesake, I have so much more to say were it not for the fact that I'm extremely busy with important stuff!
