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.

Not for a second did I think it was "But does she really wanna, But can't stand to see me walk out the door?"

If it makes you feel better I couldn't understand a single word in that song.

Ya but I spent half of my life believing british people walked out on their partners often enough for it to be coined "a British fantasy".

Its not about leaving your partner for good. Its just like saying "toodle pip" as you don your bowler hat on the way out.

Didn't Polaroid say not to do that?

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it was actually in response to this song

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I think so, too, but it almost feels apocryphal

That’s an excellent mishearing.

It’s an Agate Bauer issue:https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verh%C3%B6rer
