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.

I have to know if this picture already existed or if you just made that because it's perfect

It's not mine (unfortunately). I don't have an original bone in my body. See these bones? They're actually someone else's.

[–] Holyhandgrenade 6 points 10 months ago

Why are you using someone else's bones and why can I see your bones?!?!

Clearly you can see it's an old picture, from the ages when people actually drew/photoshopped new things, before memes were 100% made up of Drake and Wojak variations.

This is that Charlie Kelley kind of logic.

I don't know enough about planetary rings and dinosaurs to dispute it.

But what about Denim T-Rex?

Is dinosaur law just a precursor to bird law?
