Ultimately, every thought is intrusive
(lemmy.zip)
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:
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.
OP, congrats on such a controversial shower thought!
I agree with the linguistic usage, every thought is intrusive, as without them being so there would be no active consciousness, it would all be reactionary stimuli. ^ok that's an entire other debate...^
The way we use the term in general colloquialism implies a much much more serious level of intrusiveness.
For example, the fucker in the left lane going slower than the middle lane, the thought that... I could just cut him off at that bridge, he'd fly off, crush himself... He's a selfish cunt, net benefit to the world would be this asshole going up inflames
That's an intrusive thought.
