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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Ok, so less a shower thought and more a "random observation while standing in line to vote" thought, but my mind is about equally checked out in both scenarios, so I'll count it.

This may be the most brilliant get-out-the-vote tactic I've ever seen.

Nah, cause the hot girls won't care about republicans.

Wait a second...

Lol, thanks. Kinda wish I'd have thought of it sooner and made some kind of graphic based on those old ads.

Getting hit on at the polls is a great way to make voting even more uncomfortable.

Best to stick to polite chit chat, and otherwise avoid bothering people when they're voting.

Seems to me that if you're canny about your polite chitchat while standing in line, you could segue to "you wanna get a drink sometime?" after you both come out of the polling place.

Which leads me to remind the ladies, just because he was all supportive of women's bodily autonomy in line, doesn't mean you can be sure how he actually voted in the booth!

It's like trying to find an SO at a comic convention. Just enjoy the show and be happy you've found like-minded nerds.

Anything to get out to vote. Made me laugh. Good day for it.

You really know how to work the polls

Same reason I go to the dentist. Dental hygienists are hot as hell.

Yeah. But they’re spitters.

Personal preference. I guess I'm just into scrubs and latex in my mouth 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Did you floss for me big daddy?

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

It's usually more like

Them: incoherent ramblings about personal life

Me: Just enjoying the feel of latex and metal

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the punchline was going to be "to get drilled".

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Punchline requires joke, lol

Turn voting into speed dating

Just got back from voting and I was looking for an opportunity to mention how attractive the lady that checked me in was.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

was she checking you out, too?

[–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago
[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

Was she under 70?

Get out of the shower, democracy needs you.

Clearly no moderation in showerthoughts.
