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 have plenty of downtime, waiting for code to compile. Lemmy is perfect for that.

Most jobs allow people to use their phones during down time, as long as you're not disturbing anyone else or looking at porn then no one cares

How would looking at porn on my private device in my down time be a problem to anyone?

Not everything you disagree with is trolling.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

You are correct there, however questioning why you shouldn't be allowed to watch porn at work is definitely trolling lol

[–] tux0r@feddit.org 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not really. The distinction that has been made here is that "NSFW" only means "pornography" if it 1) takes place during a break at work and 2) does not take place on your own device. Conversely, doesn't that mean that I can do whatever I want on my own device during my break?

Cool story bro. I'm actually at work now so I don't have time to keep entertaining your troll hijinks any further. You have fun watching porn at work though. Make sure to invite your manager to watch along with you!

[–] tux0r@feddit.org -1 points 11 months ago

I probably will not, I prefer to see my manager in a non-sexual context. (Not really my type, too much penis, I guess.)

your troll hijinks

Sorry for repeating myself: Not everything you disagree with is "trolling".

In the same way that watching porn on public transit is a social no-no

[–] tux0r@feddit.org -1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I would have assumed that by now we would at least have overcome the age of puritanism sufficiently to no longer taboo sexuality. I actually watch porn on public transit, but I guess that not many people do.

[–] ExcursionInversion@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

lmao this can't be real. Do you use the public library computers for porn as well?

[–] tux0r@feddit.org 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I haven't been to a public library for years.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

You should definitely go spend some time in one.

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works -1 points 11 months ago

No we haven't. Largely because we haven't overcome patriarchy and it issues also people don't trust that people can show strong urges like that and act in a way that is respectful of their boundaries.

In the same way you and I would avoid someone yelling on public transport.
