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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

It would be HILARIOUS if a military band did that instead of playing Hail to the Chief. He gets off Air Force One and you just hear Fum fum fu fuuum, DUUUUURG.
I could not for the life of me remember what the price is right failure horn sounded like.
Then I read your comment and it was like a bolt into my soul.
Well done, sir.

I just looked that up, and... TIL where that sound clip came from.
How about "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang? "Celebrate good times, come on!"
That's what I'll be playing, that's for sure!
I’m not saying “ding dong the witch is dead” wasn’t a perfect capture of the sentiment, but it’s also really hard to improve on “Lizzie’s in a box” for the sheer ability to send the most insufferable people on the planet into a frothing rage.
How about "Witch, watch, the ding dong's dead" instead?
Idk but do you think his burial place will be accesible by the General public? Id like to plan shitting on it.
You will get arrested for public nudity. Package it up beforehand and spread/drop it.
I will be bottling urine myself so I can piss on his grave. We may bump into each other.
I want to get arrested when I shit Taco Bell diarrhea all over his headstone. Need to have official proof that I did it!
Damn! You would have legal proof!
And lots of articles as bragging rights!
I was thinking catheter and some tubing down the leg with a valve at the end.

But first, put on a bunch of corpse flower sculptures on it so people know where to shit and piss.
I imagine the grounds staff will put gravel over that grave. No way grass will ever survive that amount of urine.
Ding dong the witch is dead. I remember that. Good Times.
Ding dong Donny’s dead
Ding dong the dick is dead.
Ding dong the orange is dead
It's gotta be something kids can sing. But what's another way of saying orange fuck ass motherfucker in a socially acceptable way?
The poo pants man is dead!
The poo pants man is dead!
His pants are clean
The country's keen
Cause orange man has bled!
Na na na na
Na na na na
Hey hey hey
Goodbye
ding dong the bitch is dead
We can adapt one of theirs, how about "Tamp the dirt down" by Elvis Costello?
Ding Dong the rapist's dead?
Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about "the waiting is the hardest part" seems appropriate.
Lyrics:
You fucked up, you bitch
You really fucked up
You fucked up
You fucking Nazi whore
Well, you dicked me over
But now you'll pay
You fucked up
Aaaahhh!
You fucked up, you bitch
You really fucked up
You fucked up
You [slimy] little shit bitch fuck
Well, you dicked me over
But now you'll pay
You fucked up
Aaaahhh!
Well, you dicked me over
But now you'll pay
You fucked up
Aaaahhh!
We should commission something good.
I don’t think any existing song is good enough nor should it be dragged down by the association.
Sure there is: Highway to Hell. He will be on a highway to hell - in the passing lane.
Perhaps they can use Lily Allen's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFE6qQ3ySXE -- she's from UK but oh well
Words that rhyme with Trump: chump, grump, slump, bump, rump, lump, hump, Gump, dump, frump(y), pump, thump, clump, stump...
For Don: gone, pawn, prawn, fong, jong, con, QAnon, Mastadon...
There's some pretty inspiring stuff to work with here for sure.
You worthless bitch
You fickle shit
You will spit on me
You will make me spit
And when the Judas howl, arise
And like the Jesus Jews, you epitomize
I'll still be here as strong as you
And I'll walk away in spite of you -bauhaus (Crowds)
Is Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead only for women?
So I hadn't heard this song and went looking for it. There are so many songs celebrating her death. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/04/7-songs-margaret-thatcher-funeral-playlist/
We could always adopt “Lizzie’s in a box”

It's a real shame they stuck this song on the end of a long video. The video is neat but the music video at the end is an absolute banger. Skip to 22:30 if the timestamped link doesn't work.
All news media have stuff ready for when a famous person pops their clogs. Various versions, usually.
I'm pretty sure when he keels over it'll A. be his fault and B. lead to an avalanche of conspiracy theories probably inspiring terrorist attacks. It will not be a day of rejoicing for me.
