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.

I've got a better idea, just never look her in the eye.

But you're still gonna be rock hard. 😏

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago

She’d probably just stab you or something while I was distracted. At least you’ll die doing what you loved?

[–] [email protected] 128 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If I'm close enough for a hug, I'm already rock hard

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A rule 34 enjoyer it seems 😏

Tis the year of the snake, baby

[–] Lemminary 5 points 2 days ago

Yes, the one-eyed yogurt-slinging trouser snake.

That was damn funny.

[–] toynbee 2 points 1 day ago

I thought this was going to be a Doctor Who reference.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I don't even have to click the link to know what it is.

I haven't laughed like that from a cartoon for a while. The guy is funny as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That was amazing! Hahahahahahahahha

[–] Maalus 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's an entire channel of these animations and that one is actually one of the worst ones lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Mate, you're sending me down a rabbit hole lol

[–] fubo 1 points 1 day ago

As a wise man once said β€” everybody must get stoned.

[–] Reality_Suit 58 points 2 days ago (3 children)

This opens up a whole world of a Medusa with stone people armor. Her followers embracing different parts of her body and then they gaze into her eyes to become permanent protection.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

So, Meduzord

[–] Lemminary 10 points 2 days ago

Alright, calm down Zordon.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

very creative thinking, Please write more

[–] Tedesche 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Pretty sure she could find a way of breaking your statue body. She could just lean and tip you over; that’d probably be enough to create a fracture and then she can get free.

[–] Agent641 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You gotta get hard and fuck her before you look into her eyes, so you have an attachment point inside as well.

Is she strong enough to break stone?

[–] LouNeko 45 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Depends on what stone you turn into. Slate or lime maybe. Granate or marble, no way.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 days ago

This guy rocks

[–] taiyang 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They never did clarify, did they. I bet it's marble. Would explain why there's so many marble statues from that era (in a more fun way than reality, anyway!)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This opens up a whole new perspective...

[–] Agent641 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The fact that so many of them are naked suggests they all thought Medusa was DTF

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Their clothes could've just rotted away after 3000 years but this is the ancient Greeks were talking about so who knows

[–] Burninator05 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unsupported stone isn't all that strong.

[–] Agent641 1 points 1 day ago

This guy thinks he's tougher than literal stone

[–] DragonsInARoom 4 points 1 day ago

A true showerthought

Medusa has the body of a serpent, so she would probably just wriggle away

[–] Lemminary 8 points 2 days ago

Look at you with your facts and logic trying to make sense in this conversation. What a nerd!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Body of a serpent? I've never heard of that, only the snake hair.

[–] Diplomjodler3 2 points 1 day ago

You just use a mirror. Geez, people, read your mythology!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

You're dead if you're that close and going for a hug.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Sounds sexy
