I’m at the supermarket and my wife texts me “Where are you?”
I text back “I’m here. Where are you?”
She replies “I’m here too, why can’t I see you?”

Time, space, velocity... it's all relative.

Wherever you go, there you are.

[-] cattywampas@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

"There you are!"

"Do I know you?"

"No, but that's where you are, you're there!"

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

You must be mistaken. I'm here.

[-] the_q@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Oh behave...

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You can be there. Just not now.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Now. You’re looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now

What happened to then?

We passed then.

When?

Just now. We’re at now now.

But where will here be there?

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Not anymore it's not. Back then, you were there. Before now. But now it's now, and you're here.

[-] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 4 points 1 week ago

That's good news! Here I thought I wasn't all there, but now I find out I'm not there at all.

[-] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I can only be here, but I'm pretty sure that you are there.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Actually I'm also here, but I don't see you.

Short form horror:

He said, “There you are.” and the man he was talking to disappeared.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Isn't here just there without a t?

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

"You" in a physical sense, sure

Mentally? I can definitely not be here

[-] brownsugga@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Here and now is all there is

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I'm right there with ya on that one.

Ah, shit, that's a paradox. Now I'm not there with ya. :)

I got there in the end.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

I'm with you there

... wait, what

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Where there is love, I'll be there

[-] early_riser@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

and if you're old-timey you can also not be yonder.

Showerthoughts

43447 readers
140 users here now

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.
