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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Technically I don't know that it's offensive to taste.

And my dog likes it.

But I'm still not going to check.

This is one of the reasons I don't like dogs who lick people. I'm fine with your dog until he starts trying to lick me.

I also don't like when your laying down, and the cat walks on your chest, just to block your view of the tv, and sticks it's butthole in your face. You're all like "eeewwww, no cat butt!!!" But the cat is like "meow!". You have to tell them "Look, we've been over this. I don't speak meow. You need to learn more words. Like if I pull a can of f-o-o-d out, you go nuts. And I have to spell that word, because I'm not trying to excite you, and then disappoint you. Because I'm NOT an asshole, and am being empathetic to YOUR feelings. Unlike you."

And she says "Meow".

And I say "I still don't get the nuances of meow language. It can't be one word that means everything. This isn't Hawaii."

And she says "Meow."

It's a losing battle trying to teach cats to speak english when they lack vocal cords. But maybe it's a good thing they can't speak. They could be like carrots. Always screaming how much pain they're in, and how they have a baby carrot at home. All just because I'm trying to make a salad.

Now.......cucumbers? They scare me. They're practically giddy to be chopped up. Real masochists.

But at least they're not smug, like George Clooney. The smug bastard!

If you want some more laughs dig through their comment history. This is par for the course

teach cats to speak

I have relevant scientific data, https://youtu.be/UbJtehCZnuE

Cats aren't necessarily intending on sticking their butt in your face. They see you as vulnerable when you're laying down, and since they respect you, they're going to guard you by facing the other way to protect you from the open area.

Totally get the dogs licking you though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

No, cats do intend to show you their butthole. It's the highest form of trust and respect a cat can give you. They're basically saying, "I'm going to show you my weakest spot so you know there's no secrets between us"

Thank you, I've been trying to figure out how to give Lemmy Gold. Didn't realize it was this easy

I've heard people with dogs are healthier because they get bacteria from their dogs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I saw your name and my partner paused wrestling so I could read the comment aloud. 100% worth it. Way more interesting than The Conglomeration

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

Your partner must not be very good at wrestling if you were browsing lemmy during a sesh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I don't even know where to begin with this comment lmao. It's funny, but just to give a serious answer, I'm not the biggest AEW fan so I passively watch it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’d like it if George Clooney put his butthole in my face while I was watching TV.

[–] BigFatNips 3 points 1 month ago

Sir this is a Wendy's, you have to go to Carl's Jr for that

Just Lie on the Internet?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Wait, does that mean...this you?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dogs can have a little shit. As a treat.

Both my partner and me too. I wasn't ready
