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.

They are delicious. But they tend to stick to your gums.

Does this mean that Smurfs are made from hooves and horns?

Those are thickened with starch. They are vegan as far as I know.

They are suspiciously labelled vegetarian, not vegan. And contain: beeswax

That explains it. My vegan friends love bees but consider it ethical enough to eat their products as they have an apiary at home.

Are Smurfs called Schlumpfs in Germany?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Schlümpfe

The singular is "Schlumpf".

Go Schlumpf yourself

They're "Les Schtroumpfs" in French.

What Mel Gibson's girlfriend does sometimes

I think it's either Gargamel or Gurgelhals, depending if it's newer or older, from the tv series or from the comic books.

The tv show uses Gargamel.

The older comics use Gurgelhals. The newer ones use both, depending on the publishing house.
