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.

Everybody privately shit-talks everybody. The phone always listens to it and records it. A viral hack that turns all this shit-talking into texts. Everybody in the world suddenly gets a thousand shit-talking texts from their family, friends and associates. Society dissolves.

Why do you do that?

The only possible interpretation I can make here, is that you just put together a sentence for the sole purpose of trying to upset me.

That is not a nice thing to do. No mature adult should ever need to go there.

Yet you have.

Why can't you just... Not?

Hm. Ask a question, then answer your own question, then enjoy a satisfying climax. Very efficient.

I'm asking why you can't be nice. Or failing that why you don't want to be.

That you aren't, is obvious. And not an answer to anything.

You've now admitted to being intentionally malicious.

That's NOT an improvement.

Is that the meanest "go away" you can manage?

Really?

Just block me. Or stop responding, even.

I keep replying because that's what I do when there's even a fraction of a chance I get through.

I will repeat the same paraphrased ideas at you over and over, so that even if you only read every other sentence, the full idea might make it into your head.
