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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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 8 months ago

Aww I forgot about that sub. I miss it.

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

Prides are lions. Alice in wonderland mentions momewraths.

[–] Donebrach 17 points 8 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 8 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 8 months ago (1 children)

A pride is a group of lions that live together.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 3 points 8 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 8 months ago* (last edited 8 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 8 months ago

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

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

Gluttons exist; their modern name is wolverine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Bahnd 3 points 8 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 8 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 8 months ago

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

It's only logical

[–] Leviathan 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Where are the lusts? Asking for a friend.

[–] XeroxCool 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Have you ever felt aroused by a Dolphin?

[–] Leviathan 1 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Animal lusts definitely exist

But also of thinkers, movers and content creators.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 8 months ago

Movers and shakers and YouTube content makers

[–] ComplexLotus 1 points 8 months ago

7 deadly Sins? 7 deadly Sinners?

Did you browse r/funny while showering?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 8 months ago

No it doesn't.
