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

Show me the straight line, honey (the poles donβt count) π
I could post thousands more, but I think Iβve made my point.
If your rainbowβs straight, you need to fly your flag!

Lol gay
Exactly π
β¨The More You Know π«
.... You really don't see the lines of the various bars of the rainbow in those flags as being straight lines?
Perhaps youβre just seeing what you want to see πβ€οΈπ³οΈβπ
What? Okay let's just come at it from this angle. The red bar at the top. Is it curved or straight?
In every one of the pics above, itβs all flappy and wavey. Even here in this emoji π³οΈβπ itβs nice and curvy.
If youβre them seeing straight, itβs because you want to. οΏΌπ
Damn you and your gay logic. This is the kind of trickery Republicans fear.
You win this round
Yes, but they can be won over with better education and rainbows and using trickery for entertainment purposes as flamboyant magicians with buxom assistants.
Which is why the republicans fear them. Lure them in with those things then BAM hit them with the ol education trap and make them better people.
Insidious really.
Lol it was a joke. I was say you have a point but in a fun joking manner.
Oh, what, you donβt get that I was totally joking?

(Sorry)
...It's uh straight when viewed on Windows
As if anyone here needed another reason not to use windows, lol
Lol, use Linux, itβs super gay. Youβve got to arch. Your back, that is. Also, pop, as fun to dance.
Iβm not even gonna mention deepin.
There's also ArchBang, or Goobunto
Wonder if that's browser specific or version specific, because that's not how I'm seeing it in Chrome on Windows 10
I see a bendy flag on chrome/10
I just checked on Windows 11 Chrome and got the same flag I had above in Firefox. Google does have their own set of emojis, but it'd be odd for them to not render it the same on W11.

Making the pride flag straight is a form of assault. Change my mind.
I like your mind as is.
Itβs nice that somebody does

If your rainbow is straight then your flag is too erect.
A stiffy, you might say.
*in the event of a straight rainbow, doctors recommend finding a bottom or a generous top. In extreme cases, where a straight rainbow lasts for longer than four hours, doctors recommend both. At the same time. *
