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

A solid 30% of posts in my feed are German memes. I don't understand the language, but I love the memes that I can't read.

I keep clicking on those memes and laughing, and then having no idea why it was funny in the first place.

Thanks for reminding me I could use Google Lens to translate the German Memes.

According to that this joke goes: My Dad asked me if I have a favorite fruit. I told him "Papa, ja!" Literally "dad, yes!" But also pun for "papaya," a tropical fruit.

A+, good joke and not too bad to translate.
