Showerthoughts

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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 11 months ago

Aww I forgot about that sub. I miss it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 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 11 months ago

Prides are lions. Alice in wonderland mentions momewraths.

[–] Donebrach 17 points 11 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 11 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 11 months ago (1 children)

A pride is a group of lions that live together.

[–] afraid_of_zombies 3 points 11 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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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 11 months ago

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

[–] Everythingispenguins 1 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Gluttons exist; their modern name is wolverine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Bahnd 3 points 11 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 11 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 11 months ago

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

It's only logical

[–] Leviathan 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Where are the lusts? Asking for a friend.

[–] XeroxCool 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Have you ever felt aroused by a Dolphin?

[–] Leviathan 1 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Animal lusts definitely exist

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But also of thinkers, movers and content creators.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 11 months ago

Movers and shakers and YouTube content makers

[–] ComplexLotus 1 points 11 months ago

7 deadly Sins? 7 deadly Sinners?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Did you browse r/funny while showering?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 11 months ago

No it doesn't.
