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

The first birthday you are part of is your own, and the last funeral you are part of is your own as well. Ah, the circle of Life.

You skipped the baby showers. Sooo many baby showers.

And don’t forget divorce parties! And other people’s kid’s birthday parties!

OP must be between 25 and 30, that’s my totally biased and judgmental guess. 🥳

I don’t have friends so I don’t have to go to stupid gatherings

I went to far too many funerals as a child/young adult then.

In your mid 30s, you can definitely do all 3 at once. Literally on the same weekend for me one time.

The birthday party stage happens again after marriage - although they’re not for you 🤣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

the final stage is when you go to a lot of furnals

Unless you die one of the first!
