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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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 should change the name to that for accuracy.
A bad prostitution results to a constitution?
Good constitution must be called prostitution


Only if you don't bother to learn what the words you use mean.
Inherited from Middle English con-, from Latin con-, from cum (“with”). ... Indicating a common origin, from, coming from the root: consequence as what comes from the sequence
So kids can be called.... Cumsequences?....
Only if you are a really bad father.
prosequence would probably be... before sequence?
I think that would be presequence.
Pro means on behalf of or forward, so a prosequence would be something that pushes the sequence forward, a prosequence would be something like, "you know there is a bomb that is about to go off, and if you do not dismantle it, your child will die. So you must attempt to defuse the bomb at the risk of your own life".
The knowledge of and opportunity to act to defuse the bomb is the prosequence that has led you to this point.
It could also be something like you were walking by a gas station and your hand started itching, so you went and bought a lottery ticket and won the lottery. The itchy hand would be the prosequence that pushed you towards winning the lottery.
That is the "antecedent",
Antecedent: A preceding occurrence, cause, or event.
So you could have a prosequence with a prostitute, but a bad experience would be a consequence of a constitute?
I guess Funeral Processions are a good thing?
Wtf is a Funeral Concession? Only transporting half of a body?
I’d sell ice-pops at a funeral concessions stand, that’s for sure.
I fear there are heavy "lunch is served" overtones to this, and I don't mean a catered meal 😬
Using con the same way it would mean everyone at the funeral dies.
The more I think about this the I like it.
