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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

A "poop butt" and a "shit ass" have completely different meanings, despite the similarity of the words that make them up. (sh.itjust.works)

I didn't know what either of those mean.

shit-ass is bad. E.g. I have a shitass lawnmower so it takes a long time.

And poop butt is good? This poop-butt device mows the lawn in seconds. ???

[–] thelasttoot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Poop butts aren't good, but they're not bad either. They're just something you have to deal with when you have pets or a baby.

[–] _edge@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago

And shit-ass is what you have to deal with when babies become teenagers?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Lmao, no actually. I'm not sure I've ever hesrd someone say that.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Huh. I would say my mower is shitty or a pain in the ass, but it would never occur to me to say shitass. Maybe it's regional?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe. Or, maybe you're just shit ass at keeping up with what people say.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Thats probably it. I've been pretty busy dealing with a poop butt.

Lol my inner dialoge can't read "shit-ass" in any other voice than Sweet Dee from Always Sunny in Philadelphia

And I'm guessing a “poop butt” is to be taken literally.

"poop butt" is my elderly house cat when she needs a little help cleaning up after using the sand box.

"shit ass" describes the character of my state's Lieutenant Governor.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Poop butt can't help themselves, shit ass can but chooses not to

[–] degen@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

We say poo butt... What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao
