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.

The first birthday you are part of is your own, and the last funeral you are part of is your own as well. Ah, the circle of Life.

You skipped the baby showers. Sooo many baby showers.

And don’t forget divorce parties! And other people’s kid’s birthday parties!

OP must be between 25 and 30, that’s my totally biased and judgmental guess. 🥳

Are there divorce parties? When do these start 😁

Depends how fast you can sow the seeds of discontent 👀

Look at you with all your…… friends. :cries:

We can be your friend 😁

I don’t have friends so I don’t have to go to stupid gatherings

I went to far too many funerals as a child/young adult then.

[–] ReignOfTerror@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

So many furnals

40 years in and still waiting for the first stage...

In your mid 30s, you can definitely do all 3 at once. Literally on the same weekend for me one time.

The birthday party stage happens again after marriage - although they’re not for you 🤣

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

What about when it starts with lots funerals?

the final stage is when you go to a lot of furnals

Unless you die one of the first!
