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.

bed as seen from the side, BED from the top.

That’s how you teach this letter to English speakers.

Some will tell you it makes a b sound at the start of the syllable like bed and a p sound at the end. Others will say it’s only a b in the middle.

I was taught b at the start

I vaguely remember one of those joke story things where you're doing math on the calculator while telling this long story and eventually end up with the punchline of "55378008." (Boobless)

Don't remember the whole joke, tho. Just the punchline. 😮‍💨

You could use the prime factors as you work your way through a story of work

I would use this as a gamer tag but I'm afraid people would think it's Nazi related with the two "88's"

Unless your name is AryanWarrior1488 I doubt anyone would bat an eye.

Instead of reading between the lines, the trick is to read above an imaginary line.
