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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

More like rubbing their faces against each other, unless they took the picture planning for a well positioned kiss.

Wut?

Haven't you heard? Every country has year books and OP isn't leaving the rest of the world out!

I don't know anywhere else they're used, but in the US at the end of a "high school" year everyone gets their picture taken and they can put in a quote below their picture, this is then put in a book with the pictures laid out in a grid pattern.

This means that when you go to another page or close the books, the pictures on the other page touch and kiss!?!? No idea why the US would ever allow pictures with minors kissing but who knows.

Ah, American defaultism strikes again!

In this case its at least NORTH American since Canadian schools do yearbooks as well

Do you do class rings and have pep rallies?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

No idea what a class ring is? Not sure about pep rallies

We have to clarify every time something is American? People don't even realize because, well, it's so normal to an American. It's not like it's done spitefully.

This only just federated, but yes things like this do indeed have to be clarified or at least edited afterwards with a tag or something.

Are you 13?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

I'm triple 13

I dont know why you're getting downvoted. This sounds EXACTLY like the thoughts I'd get when I was 13. Simpler times.
