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: 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 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.

Not if I'm wearing a crop top and my pants are tucked under my belly.

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 60 points 2 years ago (1 children)

21 days of lurking.... And this is what you start with? God damn.

Containment is not tucking.

[–] CascadianBeam@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah, you’re not tucking around.

[–] JesusRat@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And your pants are holding up your belt... but your belt is holding up your pants... WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON DOWN THERE?!?!

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Who is the hero here!?

People that tuck in their shirts creep me out

[–] SighBapanada@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I will never understand how tucking in your shirt won out as the standard of professional dress. It's impractical and uncomfortable. Can we just like change this?

[–] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 2 years ago

I've already started. They're not going to fire me over shirt tucking; my bosses are happy I'm even showing up in meatspace. And if we can get everyone's shirts back, who knows what's next?

Kinda looks weird if you're wearing a tie and you don't.

[–] irkli@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well the solution to that is obvious...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Wear two ties?

[–] Silviecat44@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It only makes sense in a professional/formal setting

[–] frogfruit@discuss.online 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some people find it more comfortable than hanging fabric.

[–] irkli@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

People who have really big bellies disagree with you.

How about people who tuck in their jackets? Not enough people have seen this clip IMHO. How coked out do you even have to be to tuck in your jacket?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=w5_EIikdFr8&ab_channel=Valhalla80s

Which is better? Piped, or PeerTube?

[–] sycamore@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I don't wear pants when I'm in the shower.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That's disgusting, what is wrong with you?

[–] essigvater@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That makes me uncomfortable. Thank you.

I tuck my t-shirt into my underpants and pull them way up, just to be sure.

[–] egeres@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

🫠 W... eh, ah...
