Yeah and you want to play among the stars? They are all lightyears away from each other so you'd just be playing in empty space. Makes no sense at all.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Plus:

1.) No oxygen, so hope you brought your spacesuit, dumbass.

B.) If you do get too close to a star, you're dead meat.

The man has a death wish. It's an irresponsible song.

Ok Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.

This song is about romance. They didn't mean it literally.

Edit: I'm pretty sure I got baited but I'll keep it up. Got me today, squid :P

Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.

You need to open up your music tastes...

[-] donuts@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

92% of songs are about love or sex.

That's got nothing to do with my personal taste, that's sex selling (pop) music.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I wish there was more variety. It's ridiculous, frankly. The non-romantic songs can have such interesting subjects. Where are all the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgeralds and I Wish that I could Wear Hats?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

Metal, and punk have a lower ratio of love songs.

[-] mushroomstormtrooper@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Less sex and love and more politics and drugs.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

True, but unfortunately for me I don't tend to enjoy those genres

Fly me to the moon

Let me kick it's fucking ass

Let me show it what I learned in my

Moon jujitsu class

Well, in other words, what they're trying to say is , "darling, hold my hand. Darling, kiss me."

Wait until you find out about Metaphors

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

What's a metaphor? I'm sailing on a sea of ignorance when it comes to taking the journey into learning, but my glass remains half full that I'll understand metaphors one day. The light bulb will turn on and I'll no longer be looking like I'm up shit creek without a paddle when it comes to these posts.

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 11 points 3 months ago

That's just your opinion.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

God damn it.

Now it's in my head.

You insidious bastard.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Listen to it to get it out of your head! I recommend the Blossom Dearie version.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Spring on Jupiter is delightful! The way the helium3 layer playful mixes with the metallic lithium layer... majestic.

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Doubtful. Jupiter's atmosphere is almost exclusively comprised of hydrogen and regular helium (helium-4). Helium-3 mainly forms due to nuclear fusion processes (like in our sun) and Jupiter's core isn't hot enough for that. There is also no "lithium layer", lithium is maybe a trace element on Jupiter but not something you'd regularly see outside of the core.

You might have been on Ganymed, or Io and mistaken sulfur for helium.

Love turns you stupid. Blissfully stupid

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars - it's about space travel in general.

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Made me chuckle this morning. Of course the writer, Bart Howard, wasn’t being literal. I bet what’s really eating at you is how much money they’ve made on this song for seemingly nonsensical lyrics.

Great tune. 😜

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

To be honest, I just heard the song and thought, "what a silly thing to sing."

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

We need more silly in this world, don’t we?

[-] polysics@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Neil deGrasse Tyson enters the chat

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Is this about the mirrors again?

[-] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Eh, true enough. But I love singing it anyways!

[-] RandomStickman@fedia.io 4 points 3 months ago
[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Not if Utada signs it.

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

reddit post (complimentary)

[-] FindME@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 3 months ago

What is it complementary to? I'm not seeing the angle in the post.

Showerthoughts

31967 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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
