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

He fled. My great grandfather came home an hour later, and found broken glass and a severed hand in his house.
He didn't find the intruder anywhere nearby, threw the hand in the nearest river, and cleaned up the house.

Police never came, and you didn't call them either, in Germany in 1918.
