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.

What version of this story did you read?

All three houses are finished by the time the wolf arrives.

The story goes the first two pigs were lazy and while the 3rd pig worked to build his brick house, the other two fucked about and danced or whatever, even teased the third pig in some iterations.

The first two pigs got their asses saved by their brother who actually worked hard to do it right. The first two weren't valiant, they were lucky.

You who are so wise in the ways of pig fiction: how does a wolf blow when it has no lips?

Beasty farts. It's that all pig diet.

Wolves have lips though….?

Well there is a way to test if the wolves blows or not....

I heard peanut butter doesn't help very much with blowing. It does help with other issues.

It's very "toothy" and not at all enjoyable, but he really does put the effort in.

The moral of the story is do a nepotism. Have rich family, mooch off them.

It's good you've come, the house is getting a bit cramped now with three of us living here.
