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.

Then maybe just the small ones are poo...

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

No, the small ones are delicious.

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

The small ones are cavoodles or chihoodles.

Chipoo. Chihuahua+poodle mix.

I have one of these.

[–] Gregorech@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Because Choodle sounds like a brand of chickpea noodles.

Havipoo = havanese + poodle. Don’t ask me, my spouse told me about it.

A Jack Russel Terrier + Poodle is a Jack Shit.

I have a schnauzer + poodle = schnoodle named Ziti.

I swear I heard of cockapoos in the 70s but only heard of doodles in the last 10 years. I wonder if I just lived a sheltered existence or what ?

Most people just call them "mutts"

I parents owned a cockapoo while growing up, and my siblings and I didn't like it because it was aggressive as hell and my mother treated it like an actual factual babby.

Once my sister was eating a hot pocket, and the dog wanted it, so it mauled her badly. It jumped up on the table randomly and mauled her face. It took several surgeries to get her face back to normal. My mother lied and told the police she had it destroyed.

About 3 years later, it became paralyzed from the waist down after it attacked me. It jumped for my face and landed wrong. It didn't die, and my mother blames me for the incident to this day, 30 or so years later.

It would piss and shit all over everything until it died of old age about a decade later. All the while, my mother treated it more and more like a baby because it couldn't get away, and it wore diapers when my mother wasn't too lazy.

I'm sure most of my issues with the dog were due to the owner being a shitty person.

Though after it ate part of my sister's face, I'm convinced that it saw everyone but my mother as "meat," which is why I couldn't get along with the dog. I mostly tolerated it until I emancipated myself early.

Never heard cockapoo in my life, only cockerpoodle.

Met one at the dog park the other day could be regional

What is happening in this post

[–] Gregorech@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I was apparently more controversial with my silly cock-a-doodle post than I anticipated.

Cavalier poodle is called a cavoodle
