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.

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

Those are natural!

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.

[–] starchylemming@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours 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 7 hours ago

Thanks. I might

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 62 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was a mod to give him "big naturals"

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 32 points 1 day ago

Impressive. Most impressive

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

What, you don't have boob-bones?

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 52 points 1 day 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.

[–] LemmyThinkAboutIt@lemmy.zip 10 points 14 hours ago

That's why they're called boooobies

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago

Boooooooooobs

My flesh is temporary but these tits are eternal.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bones do rot, just more slowly than flesh.

[–] MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours 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.

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours 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.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 day 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 1 day ago (4 children)

Well, those are macroplastics.

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago
[–] Cort@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And what do the macroplastics break down into?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

In this case? Erections.

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Even Macroerplastics

Heady times for the patient necrophile.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It’s like OP has never heard of morticians.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] lb_o@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

Source - I made this up for your entertainment.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours 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 3 hours ago

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

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day 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.

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

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

[–] kreekybonez@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago

the bones are their money...

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

What?

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