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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Ugly people make music all the time.

You really gonna tell me Ed Sheeran is good looking? Post Malone?

He looked better pre-Malone

Is that Ed!? Holy shite he’s really changed his look!

Tap for spoiler/s

Where's his chin?

But the contention is about music being better, and that's some bad music.

Did we read the same post?

Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it

I guess your comment makes sense if you find those two attractive.

Like I get the boomer joke of music these days sucks but my comment was leaning into joke.

Yeah, and Jack White aint pretty either.

Imo, this post is better directed at hollywood

Jack White

He looks good enough to me.

Your comment makes sense in the frame of "ugly people are allowed to make music," my comment refers to the "music was better" part of the post.

The ugly people you mentioned don't support your comment's argument against the original assertion because their music is terrible, not "better."

Some music sucked in the boomer's days, made by ugly and pretty people alike.

He’s simply disputing the assertion that ugly people aren’t allowed to make music.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's what the comment you replied to starts with.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah so what’s your problem with what he said then?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

Why did you reply to my comment to restate the first part of what I said?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Adele isn't that good looking as well, but she is well loved as a singer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You've got some warped standards for beauty.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

But she used to be kinda fat tho....

I’ve never heard his music, but I think Post Malone is beautiful
