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.

They would also be the most critical of nudes they receive

As a hobbyist photographer I do cringe quite hard at the vast majority of the dick pics I see though I don't know who wants to see a closeup of a single boob either.

I'll take it if it's all I can get

What about just a nipple?

[EDIT] I audibly laughed, btw. Doesn't happen to me very often, so thanks for that.

I think we do. Anecdotally.

Yes, cinematographers have the biggest dicks

I'm sure they think they do, but we all overestimate our skills when horny brain hits

As they have a job and are likely over the age of 22, are dick pics by adults really that common; or just a sign of some flavour of mental illness?

I think it's the deep knowledge of whatnot that is most important.
