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

Everything I know about being in my 40s is what I learned from Al Bundy (lemmy.world)

Al Bundy was a shoe salesman, but owned a home, car, and supported his family on a single income.

How's your relationship with your hippie son-in-law?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

Not great, he's kind of a Meathead.

I’ve chosen DS9-era Chief Miles O’Brien as my model for my 40s, personally.

I’m 42 and have avoided being cloned, time travel anomalies, and being virtually imprisoned pretty successfully so far.

How do you know you have avoided those things? Maybe you're a clone stuck in a virtual prison after being transported through time and don't know it.

Maybe I am the duplicate!?!?

Here's something that might blow your mind - watch a few episodes, then listen to Barracuda by Heart.

It's not her :o

Are you saying Peggy sounds like Nancy Wilson?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

If Nancy Wilson was the singer, yes. I was listening to the song recently and thought that Katey Sagal was singing it, especially when they sing the 'Ooh, barracuda' part.

Then watch Futurama. It is her!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

she does sing though.

Hand down the front of your pants?

Feels right

So you're broke, a joke, and constantly sexually assaulted by your smoking hot, but financially irresponsible wife?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Man, I am so glad I didn't turn into that - my extended family actually like having me around.
