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.

Those are natural!

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I never played bg but according to wiki it's a he. So he got a sex change? If you're undead I guess that's trivial. A bit of duct tape.

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 64 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It was a mod to give him "big naturals"

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 32 points 3 weeks ago

Impressive. Most impressive

[–] starchylemming@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

treat yourself to a nice 1000 hour adventure. just install that mod before your first run. so its your canon

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks. I might

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago

Funfact: The voice actor reacted to this mod. :D

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

What, you don't have boob-bones?

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 71 points 3 weeks ago

My flesh is temporary but these tits are eternal.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 58 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Those actually get reused. There hasn't been a new pair of silicone boobies manufactured in the past ten years. It's also one of the most common reason for hauntings.

That's why they're called boooobies

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Boooooooooobs

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 45 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Bones do rot, just more slowly than flesh.

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Silicone too for that matter, what with proton decay and all that.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Technically, silicone does not rot. It breaks down into smaller materials but does not decompose into its base components like organic material.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Well, those are macroplastics.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And what do the macroplastics break down into?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

In this case? Erections.

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Even Macroerplastics

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't proton decay unproven so far? we have some hyopthetical mechanisms but the universe hasn't even existed for long enough to run an experiment on it.

[–] MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

If you want to be really specific, bones do not rot per se. They go trough diagenesis, where collagen and minerals breakdown over long periods.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

It’s like OP has never heard of morticians.

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, we are actually removing them and return to the families in a separate package.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I definitely don't not regret that I didn't decide to not not read that comment.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I choose to believe your fib because the thought of grieving families keeping granny's fake tits next to her ashes on the mantlepiece is too funny.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's not only funny, it also stabilizes the mantelpiece during an earthquake and prevents the urn from toppling over.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

They stay with the corpse as far as I'm aware. There's a mortician on IG who answers questions and I'm pretty sure this was one of them.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Imagine they take them out and dispose of them separately, and some dude finding out at the open casket that his wife was packing fakes for their entire marriage and being outraged.

It's like a bad sitcom plot.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you ever watch Session 9?

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Never even heard of it until now. Did I accidentally steal a plot-point from it? lol

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sort of, but it's a stretch on my part. The premise of the movie is that some people have been hired to clean an abandoned psychiatric hospital and, well, some things go wrong.

At some point one of the cleaners finds the crematorium and collects various leftovers from it. That's the extremely tenuous connection I was making.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

What?

I mean, obviously bones rot, but you think silicone implants last forever?

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Heady times for the patient necrophile.

[–] edahs@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"And its also the night that the skeletons came to life!"

[–] kreekybonez@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

the bones are their money...

[–] edahs@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The worms are their dollars

[–] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

So those halloween displays where the woman skeleton is given breasts are accurate after all!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Archeologists will find pits of boobs, lips and buttocks and write books about butt lifts.

My theory is it's all a terra forming plan to lift Florida out of flooding using silicone floatation and shoe lifts.
