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-----

Someone not named Frank: "If you will allow me to be frank..."

Frank: "But I'm Frank. You can't be me!"

While some simply are And others may be Are but not be Or be but not are There’s some that are and be And some simply none

Or they have an identity crisis where they don't feel like themselves so instead it is a small, quiet plea to be the person they see in the mirror.

"To be Frank. If only..."

To be frank:

If you tell a person named Josh that you are just joshing them after telling them something incredible, they want to kill you, but usually don't.

There.

I was frank, but I'm not Frank.

Fucking English I hate this language sometimes.

Janice, I'm going to be Frank. I'm unhappy with the size of the pool. BALLS ON THE LINE JANICE, IT NEEDS TO BE BIGGER.
