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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)

Ice cold insult. Sick burn.
"You warm up the ice! It's the best of both worlds!"
See also "they have a hot head" vs "they have a hot body/face"
Would "hot blooded" be good or bad? 🤔
I guess if your temperature is 103 then it's bad, unless you're a Foreigner.
And sizzling is good.
Yet, some of my favorite communities are Mildly Interesting and Mildly Infuriating.
You can be both down for something, and up for it at the same time
But lukewarm and mid isn't.
And when I blow hot one minute and cold the next, suddenly everyone has a problem with it :(
There is a quote I like by famous character actor and certified psychopath Klaus Kinski who once said to his audience (translation mine):
If only you were hot! Or if only you were cold! But you are lukewarm, and I spit on you!
What's the word for something in the middle? Tepid?
These days, it's "mid".
Lukewarm, chilly…
But then we also don't like people too far from average.
People are cool and hot but bodies are cold or warm
Made me think of this YouTube video :) Also check out the comments for more examples.
