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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Well there were repeated, detailed investigations into the election to gather that evidence.

We just need to give the same amount of scrutiny to the question of whether JD Vance fucks couches. Let's get a senate subcommittee and stuff.

Let's lube up a leather couch, put it under a crate propped up with a stick in his Senate office, and once we catch him, see if the trap is filled with little Ottoman Vances.

yeah but the problem is the red team continued to push dangerous rhetoric to the point that people still don't believe the election was legitimate.

I cannot believe organizations like that are allowed to push blatantly false information that harm everyday people and this nation.

We gotta get the Cyber Ninjas on the case!

Okay I feel like I'd be more sympathetic if I knew what kind of couch it is. If it was something like a hideous faux-suede Ashley's sectional, straight to the gas chambers, but if I'm supposed to be shaming this man for a little d’homme à Canapé leather lovin' with an original chrome-spec Le Corbusier, then I won't take part in your witch hunt.

I misjudged Vance. Who could resist that?

Vagina couch is full of vaginas.

No offense but I’d rather stick my dick in a twelve thousand dollar escort instead of a twelve thousand dollar couch.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago (2 children)

But can you sit on the escort after making sweet, sweet love to it? Checkmate, athiest

If I paid them twelve thousand bucks I’d better be able to do whatever I want.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

You could, you just have to pay extra for that.

I heard that he shamed and belittled the couch for not getting pregnant, and said if he ever had the power, he would revoke its right to vote

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I heard he even got pegged by a La-Z-Boy

Many fine people are saying it.
