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 worked for a manufacturer on the engineering side for a while, and we had this absolute manipulator cunt in HR, basically throwing the CEO's name around like it was a pass to commit murder.

Once the CEO found out some of the shit she pulled, he dropped the ban hammer immediately. It was such a relief to us all, we were literally skipping and hopping in the hallways shouting "ding dong! the witch is dead!" It was a great moment until we realized a few months later half of the shit she did actually came from him and nothing really changed.

That last point may or may not be relevant to current times.

Yeah that's the worst he was not mad at the actions he was made she was throwing his name around. She was ment to be plausible deniability.

Exactly, you get what I'm trying to say. That and it isn't just one person/entity that is the issue.

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Is the ban hammer a firing, or was she just kicked from the company servers?

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd put good money on there already being some pretty good bangers waiting in the vault.

"Bangers in the Vault", another British classic about Margaret Thatcher.

We'd be a little late to the party, think she's been dead for a while.

I’d suggest ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams

I recommend the failure horns from the Price is Right.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would be HILARIOUS if a military band did that instead of playing Hail to the Chief. He gets off Air Force One and you just hear Fum fum fu fuuum, DUUUUURG.

[–] Tramort@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I could not for the life of me remember what the price is right failure horn sounded like.

Then I read your comment and it was like a bolt into my soul.

Well done, sir.

Trump's should be a series of farts, shit dumps and loud pissing.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Words that rhyme with Trump: chump, grump, slump, bump, rump, lump, hump, Gump, dump, frump(y), pump, thump, clump, stump...

For Don: gone, pawn, prawn, fong, jong, con, QAnon, Mastadon...

There's some pretty inspiring stuff to work with here for sure.

We've got a song for Boris Johnson too

[–] mrodri89@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Idk but do you think his burial place will be accesible by the General public? Id like to plan shitting on it.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You will get arrested for public nudity. Package it up beforehand and spread/drop it.

I will be bottling urine myself so I can piss on his grave. We may bump into each other.

I don't want to make your noble task more unpleasant... But have you considered concentrating it down a bit? Less hassle, more pee scent!

[–] radix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Always eat your veggies first. I recommend asparagus.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Get Gwyneth paltrows people on making a candle that smells like that. Or those little glass stink bombs.

I was thinking catheter and some tubing down the leg with a valve at the end.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I want to get arrested when I shit Taco Bell diarrhea all over his headstone. Need to have official proof that I did it!

But first, put on a bunch of corpse flower sculptures on it so people know where to shit and piss.

Ding dong the witch is dead. I remember that. Good Times.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Ding dong the orange is dead

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Is Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead only for women?

[–] bilnkandmissit@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Ha. I have a 4 act playlist ready!

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

How about "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang? "Celebrate good times, come on!"

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

That's what I'll be playing, that's for sure!

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure when he keels over it'll A. be his fault and B. lead to an avalanche of conspiracy theories probably inspiring terrorist attacks. It will not be a day of rejoicing for me.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m not saying “ding dong the witch is dead” wasn’t a perfect capture of the sentiment, but it’s also really hard to improve on “Lizzie’s in a box” for the sheer ability to send the most insufferable people on the planet into a frothing rage.

All news media have stuff ready for when a famous person pops their clogs. Various versions, usually.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It's a real shame they stuck this song on the end of a long video. The video is neat but the music video at the end is an absolute banger. Skip to 22:30 if the timestamped link doesn't work.

Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about "the waiting is the hardest part" seems appropriate.

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I can’t wait! This song comes to mind in the interim. https://youtu.be/Dbnm-0r3suM

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

So I hadn't heard this song and went looking for it. There are so many songs celebrating her death. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/04/7-songs-margaret-thatcher-funeral-playlist/

It's gotta be something kids can sing. But what's another way of saying orange fuck ass motherfucker in a socially acceptable way?

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The poo pants man is dead!
The poo pants man is dead!
His pants are clean
The country's keen
Cause orange man has bled!
