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

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.

Ok, so less a shower thought and more a "random observation while standing in line to vote" thought, but my mind is about equally checked out in both scenarios, so I'll count it.

Same reason I go to the dentist. Dental hygienists are hot as hell.

Yeah. But they’re spitters.

[–] OldManBOMBIN 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Personal preference. I guess I'm just into scrubs and latex in my mouth 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you floss for me big daddy?

No... I'm a bad boy.

I thought the punchline was going to be "to get drilled".

Okay, they thought the joke would be “get drilled”

[–] OldManBOMBIN 1 points 2 months ago

I get that; I just wasn't joking

I used to have a roommate who was in dental school. He said getting dates was incredibly easy because everybody realized it was the last time they would be in a large community of single people their age who were also intelligent and had similar interests and earning potential. And indeed, he went out with probably 20 different women that year. And he was incredibly picky and would write them off after one date - she's too loud, too quiet, doesn't drink, drinks too much, swears too much, smokes... Right at the end of the year he found the one, then had to go off and spend 2 years doing public health dentistry in another state to pay for his school loan. After 2 months he found another the one there and dumped the local one. So okay, I'm sure that gripping saga was worth telling lol.

Hm. Hm. Mhm. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that all dental hygienists are whores?

[–] irreticent 1 points 3 months ago

Whores get paid. Dental hygienists are sluts; they give it away for free.

Mine never shut up. Why was my appointment booking an hour?

[–] OldManBOMBIN 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's part of it for me. I love listening to idle chatter while my teeth get worked over with implements. And nitrile on gums is better than a deep tissue massage.

Any single dental hygienists near BGKY hmu please

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Mine want a two way conversation. And I have stuff to do.

[–] OldManBOMBIN 2 points 3 months ago

Just go

"Guh. Uh-huh. Mumblemumblemumble"
