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.

Pooping in the shower is 1000x worse though.

Ctrl-F "waffle stomp"

Ah, there it is...

I knew this would be here but to this day I've just never understood the appeal.

Wouldn't the stench just be overpowering? and linger?

you can shit in your hand and throw it in the toilet from the shower 👍

[–] Munkisquisher@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a 2.5m throw for me, without my glasses. That's some Olympic level feat.

My issue is my poop is often not in a throwable state

Only if you're at a 1-5 on the Bristol Stool Scale.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This was supposed to be an escape from work and you ruined that for me

[–] teft@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My bad. Too many medical shows lately.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Why has the Bristol stool scale entered the medical show lexicon 😭

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but when I had a 7 recently it was hard to aim. The whole shower looked like a Jackson Pollock.

Modern Fart is so pretentious.

It’s modern shart, you philistine

Wait... is the 6/7 the rabbit turds look, or the spray of brown tinted water? I never remember which type is high and which type low.

[–] teft@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Higher is looser.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You don't have a shower scoop?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 16 points 2 days ago

We're a waffle-stomping household 'round these parts.

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Just waffle stomp it, like nature intended.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 days ago

They come in a pack with a poop knife.
