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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Some things probably should stay on Reddit. Like poop-knives.
Along with Jolly Ranchers and guys who break both of their arms.
And Colby
I remember the jolly rancher story, but not the one where they broke both their arms.
It goes way back. That one must be at least 8 years old.
Let’s see… according to Know Your Meme it’s from 2011. You’re probably better off not reading about it.
Hopefully I never have to see or hear "poop-kinives" ever again.
I was expecting some rando to comment on this with his fediverse username related to something poop-knify. Might still happen.
Unfortunately it's become part of internet lore, I think it will last a long time as a reference or old in-joke. Luckily Lemmy is also giving us new ones, like beans or the 3-day no-poop challenge.
WHAT ABOUT MY TOE KNIFE
Tip: Just like on old Reddit, you have to use two spaces after a line to get a proper line break.
