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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

  1. over time this might affect our collective consciousness in regards to the purpose & function of the eggplant; and

  2. can we please just get a straightforward penis emoji already?? Half the human population has a penis attached to their bodies anyway, why are we still so prude about incorporating actual penises into mainstream vernacular & daily life?

Where does it end? Anuses (anii?), dildos, ball-gags, pierced v. unpierced, big boobs, small boobs, all in each skin tone…

The eggplant is fine. Maybe a sausage or hotdog would be better in the long run and easier to implement.

Unironically all great suggestions

Where does it end?

It never ends. We want it ALL!

I mean they have a system where you can long press one and get different versions of it, so you could fit a bunch of them together like piercings or grouping dildos with dicks. Because we also need the various skin tones and styles so everyone feels included.

Big dicks, small dicks… Long-press for various skin tones and degrees of erectness.

The longer you press, the longer it gets?
