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

Wraths are usually referred to as "wasps." And I am a Lust/Gluttony hybrid.

So you eat off the backs of strippers, got it.

I'm surprised "we want plates" wasn't just full of sushi on naked women.

[–] jaybone 2 points 9 months ago

Aww I forgot about that sub. I miss it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I think it means they eat ass and like big booties.

What are animals that mess up bees, for 400?

Hi, I'm lusts

Edit: it's unfortunate that the only other commentor is name pp boy

Good thing you're edible then

Also known as Pride

[–] R2DPru 18 points 9 months ago

Prides are lions. Alice in wonderland mentions momewraths.

[–] Donebrach 17 points 9 months ago (2 children)

could just rename some animals. Honey badgers could be a good candidate for Wraths.

If cats are any sin, it is pride without a doubt. Hell a specific kind of big cat is already called a pride when they're in a group

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Hugely depends on the cat. Some that I've known are wraths, but most are sweethearts (who like to take Attack of Opportunity)

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Badger, badger, badger, badger...

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

okay. So a sloth is a furry animal that moves very slowly. Please tell me what the other things look like.

[–] Dasus 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A pride is a group of lions that live together.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Someone told me once that even if we could speak to a lion it wouldn't understand it.

I am not picturing a Who's on first, what's on second situation with explaining a pride parade to a lion.

[–] Dasus 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I mean... you can speak to lions.

You can't speak with them, but you can speak to them.

I just spent the night speaking to my brother's cat.

[–] Phoonzang 2 points 9 months ago

I'm pretty sure my Dad's cat is really a glutton.

[–] Everythingispenguins 1 points 9 months ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Gluttons exist; their modern name is wolverine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Would Envies be songbirds that mimic other birds? Also, parrots

[–] Bahnd 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I would throw ferrets, weasles or trash pandas for the slot as they are known to like stealing things.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

But would that be Envy or Greed? I guess it would depend on whether they steal it because they want to have it or because they don't want you to have it

[–] afraid_of_zombies 7 points 9 months ago

Honey badgers, dolphins, pigs, cats, peacocks, and billionaires

It's only logical

Where are the lusts? Asking for a friend.

[–] XeroxCool 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Have you ever felt aroused by a Dolphin?

[–] Leviathan 1 points 9 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Animal lusts definitely exist

But also of thinkers, movers and content creators.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago

Movers and shakers and YouTube content makers

[–] ComplexLotus 1 points 9 months ago

7 deadly Sins? 7 deadly Sinners?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 9 months ago

No it doesn't.
