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.

Even if neither person actually mentions it, you know the song HAS to come into their mind

Looks like his wiki does not state any relationship before 2003 but he hasn't been married to anyone but his current wife.

Plot twist, it's his romantic partner that breaks up with him, and now it's a horror/stalker movie where he can't give them up.

But If his partner breaks up with him, that means he did let his partner down and that's a no no also.

Fun fact: my digital notebook of esoteric spirituality practices has songs peppered throughout and Never Gonna Give You Up is on the Knight of Cups tarot card. My virtual tarot deck rickrolls you lol.

This is a combination of things that I never thought of, and now I really need to know what other songs there are so I can spend a stupid amount of time trying to come up with songs to fill in the gaps before I forget about the project entirely for a few years and repeat the cycle.

Please indulge me, or don't... I'm not sure what the better outcome here is.

Ok I got home where I could just open the media folder and look at the backlinks so here's all the songs I have and the concepts they're linked to:

  • 9 to 5 by Dolly parton: Queen of Wands
  • Don't Stop Me Now by Queen: The Chariot
  • The Eye of The Tiger by Survivor: Five of Wands
  • Independent Women by Destiny's Child: Queen of Pentacles
  • Lonely by Three Dog Night: Numerology of the Number One
  • Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley: As stated, the Knight of Cups
  • Stronger by Kelly Clarkson: 9 of Wands
  • Sweet Victory: 6 of Wands
  • Won't Back Down: 7 Wands
  • and you've just reminded me to add A Horse With No Name by America to The Knight of Wands.

You are a wonderful person, thank you!!!

I'm saving this and may try to complete it, or at least add a few more

Lmk if there's any I might like

I can send you the obsidian Notebook but I'd have to pack it up somehow. It's merged with a complete audio textual version of the Christian Bible though since there's so much overlap in the traditional rws version of the imagery at this point (and my own cultural background meshes well with that). Like the death card links to the bits of revelation with the horsemen.

Is marriage just mutual public rickrolling?
