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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Decided this time to go with my gamertag. I made it in middle school like 17 years ago. I'll be very amused if you/anyone can guess what original flash era video inspired it.

Wheeeeeeeee! If that makes no sense, it's not that one haha

Haha, nice! figured that wouldn't be too hard given the age range here!

The 125 is a Monty Python Holy Hand Grenade reference. Was playing a lot of Worms Armageddon at the time too, and first used that screen name on Battlefield 1942. Fuck I feel old!
