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.

I'd put good money on there already being some pretty good bangers waiting in the vault.

"Bangers in the Vault", another British classic about Margaret Thatcher.

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.

We've got a song for Boris Johnson too

We'd be a little late to the party, think she's been dead for a while.

I’d suggest ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams

I can’t wait! This song comes to mind in the interim. https://youtu.be/Dbnm-0r3suM

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.

Ha. I have a 4 act playlist ready!

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.
