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.

Why's it called a blow job when you're mostly sucking it?

Why's it called eating pussy when you're mostly licking and fingering it?

Why's it called French kissing when there's no extra egg yolk included?

Why's it called a blow job when you're mostly sucking it?

Because the term started life as "A below job - i.e. below the belt - and mutated to blow job because whispered quickly, in the backseat of a car, that's what it sounds like.

It's called French kissing because you both surrender to each other.

Wait. You guys are just messing with me, right?

Right???

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would never mess around when it comes to blow jobs.

... well, then again...

Messing around is how blow jobs were first invented. If we're ever going to discover the next major sex move, we're all going to have to do our parts and mess around a lot while we're cleaning the starfish.

The woman does a handstand, then the man walks over and blows raspberries on her belly, as she blows raspberries on his belly. Pretty soon orgasms are flowing.

Let's test this out!

You don’t include the egg yolk? You heathen!

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago

Because "sucking ass" already means something else.

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

Tongue fucking ass doesn't roll off the fart licker like "eating"

We could bouge it up some though. Tonight I'll be dining on ass

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

I don't eat ass. I tongue punch the fart box.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In Soviet Russian the fart-box punches you!

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Wherever you are, if you punch too hard, the fart box always punches back.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't eat the ass? Hmmmmm, we're doing it very differently.

blood dripping from corners of mouth

What's all this cutlery for then?

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

When served up a beautiful dish prepared by a 3 star Michelin chef, you don't eat the flatware.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

You don't? Chicken butt is delicious.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

It's actually called tossing a salad.

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago

You....don't?

Uh oh
