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

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
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.
Posts must be original/unique

yesterday, i hit myself in the forehead with a car door almost knocking myself out, generating serious pain and a giant goose-egg hematoma.

its funnier today

[–] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

I gave myself myself a concussion almost the same way, except my clumsy ass was getting into my car and I slammed the side of my head on the roof of my car, everything went black, and then the door that I had already started to swing shut came and slammed into the other side of my head, knocking me back to my senses. I had a dent above my ear for a year lol.

A pirate walks into the bar with a ship's steering wheel attached to the belt.

The bar tender asks, "What's up with the wheel?"

The pirate responds, "ARR, IT'S DRIVIN ME NUTS!"

Not just lemmy, everywhere. We should all approach strangers as if we're already friends.

My daughter told me she was getting paper from the other room to draw on, and as she ran off I replied "Sounds ink-credible!"

How very sweet of you to say

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

But what about all those lovely 7+ paragraph diatribes we get instead? Lol

But yes, it can really sour my day just to have someone comment something halfway mean-- more positivity would be nice.
