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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.

Sheesh.

Some things probably should stay on Reddit. Like poop-knives.

Along with Jolly Ranchers and guys who break both of their arms.

I remember the jolly rancher story, but not the one where they broke both their arms.

It goes way back. That one must be at least 8 years old.

Let’s see… according to Know Your Meme it’s from 2011. You’re probably better off not reading about it.

Hopefully I never have to see or hear "poop-kinives" ever again.

I was expecting some rando to comment on this with his fediverse username related to something poop-knify. Might still happen.

Unfortunately it's become part of internet lore, I think it will last a long time as a reference or old in-joke. Luckily Lemmy is also giving us new ones, like beans or the 3-day no-poop challenge.

Tip: Just like on old Reddit, you have to use two spaces after a line to get a proper line break.

This will outlive us, no matter the platform.

Fellow poop knife enjoyers i see!

[–] cornbread@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

wtf are you doing with your poop knife to enjoy it? Poop knifing should be all business, sir.

[–] Metans@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's fine, the poop-knife gets wiped off when I start cutting up my food

I have a family member that had to use a poop knife growing up and I always wondered if that story was him....
