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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

One of the previous owners of my house died in the living room about 5 feet from where I'm sitting right now.

Doesn’t the smell bother you?

Only for the first few months.

Cashing their pension cheques makes up for it.

Dang. But how is it possible to die in the room that's designated for living? 🤔

Talent. And the heart attack probably helped a little.

They were contrarians, I guess.

Maybe the trick is never entering the living room in the first place. What is dead may never die.

And with strange aeons even death may die.

Living room is by the front door so setting up the hospice bed in the large room with the easiest access to the exit makes sense.

Hospice? Exit door? Not necessary in the Eternal Life™️ schematic.
