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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

Perhaps harvesting the guano is where the Wayne family wealth truly comes from.

They need to expand into other countries so that they can rename to Greater International Wayne Nitrogen Organics

In front of my house is a mango tree. My house is white. Also there are lots of bats in the neighborhood.

Needless to say, I wish I had an Alfred.

I'm jealous of that mango tree though... Mango is my favorite fruit

Batman arrives at the crime scene with drippings of wet grey guano running down the left side of his chest

Joker: ..... HAHAHAHA ... what's that Batman ... you're little friends show you a bit of love?

Batman mumbles: ..... hughhg? ... (looks down at his suit) ... ALFRED!!!!!!!

That probably means Batman smells like batshit, and everyone is too afraid to tell him.

No, they're not!

🎶Jingle bells,

Batman smells..🎵

Sure, but has anyone sang that around him?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Not within 6 feet. Not because of the danger, but you can't inhale any closer

The mask is actually a nasal cannula so that he can avoid the stench of guano on his suit, his cape, his car, his bike, his plane, his mansion.... everything.

I think he's been around it for so long he doesn't even notice it

Don't mention the parasites you get from bat poop (was it all a fever dream? The whole batman saga?)

BATMAN CAUSED COVID!

Bat wipes. They have many uses.

I bet lots of batcum on the keyboard too. And not from the animals.

The Robins were all teenagers.
