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.

Jokes on them, I stopped shitting years ago. Now I'm always full of shit

No joke, I once spent an entire day feeling like I was straight up gonna die. I thought I had appendicitis or something but the pain was nowhere near my appendix. Either way it kept me laying prone waiting for death for like 8-12 hours before I finally went to the hospital.

So I go the hospital, they run all these tests, Im pretty sure they gave me some kind of drugs in the IV without fully telling me because I remember feeling a lot better and having to try hard not to giggle when they wheeled me around to get scanned.

So they do all this stuff, and then finally the doctor comes in and tells me Im just full of shit. Like, literally, I was massively constipated and that was the entire issue.

I got back home and was in a ton of pain again, so I drank an entire bottle of Miralax and then pooped my entire soul and most of my organs out the next morning. Im talkin ass-chaffing farts

Thank you Internet stranger for the gift of your amusing poop-a-saurous story. It was just what I needed. 👍

When I was a child I also had this, but for three days.

None of you can imagine the relief I felt when that enema worked. Hardest part was keeping everything in for 5 minutes.
