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.

12 minutes at a time, 3 times a day.
Unless I'm at work.
40 minutes per day 4 times between 5:00a-1:30p

3 times a day? You should get checked for fructose intolerance.

Generally, anything from 3 times a day to once every 3 days is considered the range of normal.

Could be. Seems every medical institution has different numbers, NHS says 3 times a day to 3 times a week.

My buddy was going pretty often, little wet, little dry, all over the place, a little gassy. 3-4 times a day for years. Found out he was fructose intolerant. One exclusion diet later and he's in the one a day club.

This is a very appropriate thread to wish you a happy cake day!

My boss makes a dollar

I make a dime

That is why I poop on company time.

UK version:

My supervisor makes a pound.

I make a pence

That is why I shit at the companies expense.
