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.

I didn't know what either of those mean.

shit-ass is bad. E.g. I have a shitass lawnmower so it takes a long time.

And poop butt is good? This poop-butt device mows the lawn in seconds. ???

[–] thelasttoot@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Poop butts aren't good, but they're not bad either. They're just something you have to deal with when you have pets or a baby.

[–] _edge@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 months ago

And shit-ass is what you have to deal with when babies become teenagers?

[–] can 1 points 6 months ago

Lmao, no actually. I'm not sure I've ever hesrd someone say that.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Huh. I would say my mower is shitty or a pain in the ass, but it would never occur to me to say shitass. Maybe it's regional?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maybe. Or, maybe you're just shit ass at keeping up with what people say.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Thats probably it. I've been pretty busy dealing with a poop butt.

Lol my inner dialoge can't read "shit-ass" in any other voice than Sweet Dee from Always Sunny in Philadelphia

And I'm guessing a “poop butt” is to be taken literally.

"poop butt" is my elderly house cat when she needs a little help cleaning up after using the sand box.

"shit ass" describes the character of my state's Lieutenant Governor.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 months ago

Poop butt can't help themselves, shit ass can but chooses not to

[–] degen@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago

We say poo butt... What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao
