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'm really tempted to send that to a friend who will hate it a lot. I'm going to spend all day debating whether or not to do it.

I love both The Muppets and sick humor and don't know what to do with this, either.

Are you really their friend if they don't see opening your messages as a game of psychological russian roulette?

Is this more or less fucked up than the more likely reality of a frog and a pig just not being able to have children? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

More. Definitely more

Because Kermit is already tired of her pork opines?

Wrong Muppet.

Senorita Chicharrónes rolls across the tongue better.

Chicharrónes are fried pork belly skin, no? Wouldn't it be Cerda?

I said chicharrón, I meant chicarrón.

Fraulein Frankfurter.

First of all, it's hard to pronounce if you don't speak French. Second of all, it sounds bad if you do speak French. And lastly, it's WAY less cute. It actually genuinely sounds disgusting now.

Downvote me. I don't even care anymore.

How about "Mam'zelle Truie"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Google Translate didn't help in telling me what language that is. It told me it was Polish, and the "translation" to English is completely unchanged.

So... idk it seems like a better option.

this post sounds like the setup to a joke but there's no punchline

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

No, I mean it. She loves French. She always calls herself 'moi' and calls other people 'vous.'

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Because while she likes to sound French, she doesn't actually know French.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

That's about the extent of her French, though.

mademoiselle cochese

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It would be Mademoiselle Truie in fact…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I mean, Mademoiselle Cochonne would be her own special kind of lady.
