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.

You only have to look at what flat earthers, chemtrailers or antivaxxers believe. Given that, "male pregnancy" should make a nice and straightforward addition.

We need a new ParlerTrick!

Honesty I think liberal audiences would be much more likely to be fooled simply due to the left typically being more open to flexible gender roles.

"AI generated content contains subliminal messaging that turns you gay." And "Toxic chemicals leaking from data centers are turning locals gay."

How about that? I don't think they differentiate between gay and trans.

[–] Sly2@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I imagine there are people stupid enough to believe it regardless of their politics.

Did we just create a new R34 genre?

[–] ApertureUA@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago

It has always existed?

Conservatives are so stupid, you may find some white haired neck beard aiming his asshole toward the sun to make sure his son isn't born gay.

"But what if we channel and harness the immense power of their gullible retardation?"

[–] bumbling_bee@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

This thread is the best thing I’ve read today 🤣

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 3 points 5 months ago

No because Conservatives are Intellectuals TM that Do Their Own Research TM and can NOT be Fooled by ANYTHING! Literally NOTHING Fools Conservatives! They NEVER get Fooled by ANYTHING! I LOVE paying High Gas Prices!

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Definitely. I can think of a dozen people off the top of my head who I know that definitely would believe this.

If you're manly enough, spontaneous impregnation!! That will tell SO much about men who claim it can't happen!

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

I heard Chuck Norris would sometimes get pregnant walking past his reflection

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Given what they already believe, pretty sure anything is fair game.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

I think it's possible, if Jordan Jensen pegs you you become psychologically pregnant.

Capable of helping? No. Needs to be a conspiracy. Forcing it to happen. Maybe get some chuddy gay trans dudes a pass.
