Showerthoughts

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

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.

Tip: Just like on old Reddit, you have to use two spaces after a line to get a proper line break.
