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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Do you want to see me chewing gum? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I can never see that face the same again ever since I was in a 9 month relationship with a girl whose snapchat name was the lenny face and eventually I forgot her name, was too embarrassed to ask her to remind me (because it had been like four months), so I spent the next ~5 months of my life with a psychoromantic connection to that fucking emoticon.

That's hilarious. What a time to be alive

The one saving grace of Facebook, everyone using their real names so you can find them.

But in the end, not worth it - the younger generations have made the wise sacrifice by not using it and just guessing everyone's names lol

Are you a living episode of Seinfeld? This sounds like a scenario George Costanza would get himself into.

My whole life I thought I was Costanza... turns out... I'm Kramer.

Did you ever figure out her name? I hope it was Linda.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Caitlin, actually

I was hoping for Dolores

Fellow Disco Elysium enjoyer?

[–] dukatos@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but this was also the name of Seinfeld's girl.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 8 months ago

Oh god it was! I just remember her as Mulva!
