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.

We are all but dogs in God's hot car.

Dog is fed.

Which one? Because the only gods I've ever tasted were mealy and bland

There is no "god". Stupid post.

Consider,

A guy sees something fitting the description for God.

And then there's a guy who read about what that guy saw.

And there's a guy who read about what that second guy thought about that.

And all three of those guys mean something completely different when they say "God". Because one guy saw it, and the next guy read about it, and the next guy read about reading about it.

So what do you mean? And what do I mean?

Well that's pretty fuzzy.

When you side with the mob, when you express unoriginally, it weakens you.

And eventually you are too weak to do anything but conform.

Not fuzzy. No "god". End story.

Words need meanings medicpig. Can't say anything about it if you don't have a meaning to go with the word.

No words for a fake icon.
