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-----

The first birthday you are part of is your own, and the last funeral you are part of is your own as well. Ah, the circle of Life.

You skipped the baby showers. Sooo many baby showers.

And don’t forget divorce parties! And other people’s kid’s birthday parties!

OP must be between 25 and 30, that’s my totally biased and judgmental guess. 🥳

Are there divorce parties? When do these start 😁

Depends how fast you can sow the seeds of discontent 👀

Look at you with all your…… friends. :cries:

We can be your friend 😁

I don’t have friends so I don’t have to go to stupid gatherings

I went to far too many funerals as a child/young adult then.

So many furnals

40 years in and still waiting for the first stage...

In your mid 30s, you can definitely do all 3 at once. Literally on the same weekend for me one time.

The birthday party stage happens again after marriage - although they’re not for you 🤣

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What about when it starts with lots funerals?

the final stage is when you go to a lot of furnals

Unless you die one of the first!
