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.

Death Boom sounds cool but the opposite would be "Birth Boom".

I think it should be "Corpse Boom".

I remember seeing "papy boom" in some French school books.

Kinda the ultimate name for a boomer shooter. And I just now realised how easily misinterpreted that name can be, had never thought of the "boomer" part as the generational term. It has no connection to that but I absolutely think many people think it does.

Darth Boomer: "No... I am your father."

Luke Y-walker: "No, that's not true! That's impossible!"

It sounds like Guile's special move for when someone's royally pissed him off.

It's going to be a lot cooler, too... On average these people have destroyed the world at a higher rate than those before them.

But is there something cooler?

Morpheus toon makes room for the death boom.

Also 'boom' sounds a lot more fun, like a party with games or refreshments.
