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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

A solid 30% of posts in my feed are German memes. I don't understand the language, but I love the memes that I can't read.

If you could read them, you'd realize they're all just the same banal pun.

The Germans have one sense of humor, spread across the entire nation.

Okay but the "nett hier" joke only get better the more it is repeated, I enjoy every time it shows up

It also get's better the less you expect it. I'm expecting a renaissance of exploration by BWlers trying to put their stickers in increasingly strange places

I thought that joke was over with the "Ja, war scheise!" Schleswig-Holstein sticker.

I bet they're pretty efficient at making sure the German Sense Of Humour is properly distributed and every German gets allocated some of it at least some of the time.

I guess there just wasn't much to go around, nationally speaking. (Henning Wehn does crack my shit up sometimes though, to be fair)

Did they finally get over the "Stör" thing? Because after two straight weeks of that shit, I just blocked whatever "me irl" was in German.

German humor, it's no laughing matter.

Oh no, it's not funny to Germans either. Or rather it stopped being funny about three memes in.

Tbh, das meme hat mich auch ziemlich gestört.
