Showerthoughts
40672 readers

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

~~men & women~~
~~males & females~~
men & females
It does feel kinda weird, right?
Idk what this comment means but yeah, that’s the point of the original comment. Neckbeards who call women “females” are weird
What's wrong with calling men males and women females?
Literally nothing. If anyone thinks using the terms male and female together is wrong then they are an idiot.
woosh
Read this whole thread. No one in this thread is saying man and female is normal. They are saying male and female is.
Can you articulate what’s wrong with using the terms male and female? Or are you more of a braindead, one word comment kind of guy?
Really? You read the whole thread?
Talk about brain dead lol. Maybe you’re missing the tip level comment?
Excited to find out what super generic insult you have lined up as a comeback to this once you see that comment :)
Please point out what comment contradicts what I said. I’ll wait.

I assume you’re trolling at this point if you’re pretending that you can’t scroll up in a thread lol.
Also, dude… “I’ll wait”?
Please try tactics that aren’t out of the Kindergarten version of “how to be an asshole online”
I guess I’ll hold your hand while we get there together.
Do you understand what that comment is saying?
Dude is rolling his eyes at someone using the term man and female. Expressing his disdain for someone using terms man then female.
So again I ask, where exactly is anyone saying this is ok?
I’ll wait.
P.S. quit complaining about me being an asshole. You can’t be an ass to someone, and then get upset when they are an ass back.
It objectifies women
You could say men and women or you could say male and female. Just don't mix them together.
Gotcha!
By what logic?
They aren't lab rats
That's not a helpful answer.
