Is shart a swearword? (self.showerthoughts)
submitted 1 week ago by als to c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

It's a portmanteau of shit-fart but now that it's lost its "it", is it no longer on the naughty words list? Would the FAA of Ofcom require it to be censored?

Thought this was a baldurs gate community and wondered why shadowheart would be a swear.

IMO I’ve always put it under super casual talk that your wouldn’t say to your grandma. But not a swear word or anything offensive.

Shart is when you sing with heart, no?

E.g. Yesterday at work, I was in such a good mood, I quietly shearted all day to myself. My coworkers don't take kindly to it, but they are just jealous of my talent and passion.

Maybe a naughty word, but not a swear word.

Only after reality is confirmed.

Did we ever get a final ruling on reality?

Subjectively, we all get final ruling on reality. Objectively? Might be impossible to know, but we can't be sure.

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. 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.
