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.

I'm terrified to see an AI rendering of what The David, 2 Girls, 1 Cup would look like.
Hard to compare a gaping rectum with a artistic statue of a nude man.
Every work of art is the expression of its time I guess...
!unpopularopinion is that way (edit: I still don't know how to link communities, whee)
In the alternative, you really need to come up with some better things to think about in the shower
You just need to specify which instance it's on: !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world
Most apps or web ui should also have an autofill option.
Ah, thank you! Mbin has a variety of formatting options but nothing to help with community links, it seems.
Lemmy try... pun intended... !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world
Hurrah, I'll remember that. It'd be a lot more intuitive to pick up on if the commat and instance name weren't hidden from the formatted result.
Oh, I didn't even notice you're on fedia. Different software explains explains a lot.
Had no idea it hides the instance. This is how I see it:
oh, yeah, if it displayed like that for me it would have saved a lot of confusion on my part. XD
I should probably dig around in the settings and see if maybe that's a default setting I can change.
thanks again!
Counterpoint: what if older societies already put in place censorship laws that were so successful, they effectively scrubbed any cultural memory of similar "works"?
Perhaps we should write our rules based on what we want in the future rather than what our ancestors did?
How has no one mentioned “tubgirl” lol.
I think most of us blocked it out
For a damn good reason, along with the lemon party.
Like many parts of history we wish it hadn't happened, but here we are. Those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it.
Please, no. 😱
…Much though we wish it weren’t.
When I’m playing civilization vi and I found a religion, I always call it “goatseism” in his honor.
What you call "normal rules of censorship" only applies to countries under Islamic laws and the USA...
So like, your school teachers showed you gaping rectum porn?
In my country, Greek civilization is studied in 6th grade and yes among other things you study classical Greek sculptures of naked dudes.
And anal prolapse porn shows up in what year? Seven?
Naked dudes is one thing. The guy you replied to is talking about a gaping prolapsed anus.
I guess we didn't read the same OP then
Edit: sorry guys, I guess I'm not up to date with latest Internet trends
It was like 2003...so probably not "latest", but definitely a niche thing that you had to be part of a specific subculture to be exposed to.
Yeah, so more like earliest trends on Internet...
The USA isn't Islamic
If you need something nice to look at after your web search, go to lemonparty.org /s
Huh... Who would have thought a man spreading his asshole open large enough to drive a bus into it would be culturally relevant? I mean, besides @BreakDecks, that is.
Hell, we could straight-up consider it a medical anatomy exhibit.
Oh god why did you dig up these repressed memories.
Your going to making me politically motivated enough to join the lemon party
You mean like how David had his dick smashed off?
who?
Google images, safe search off, you're welcome.
IT'S A TRAP
Hush
Is goatse.cx still up? I would check but growing up with the internet as it was, I've seen enough Goatse in my lifetime that I really don't need to see it again.
I checked. You people are week. But anyway apparently it's a crypto thing now. What a time to be alive
Even at that level of pixelation: clear as day.
According to Wikipedia it's not, so you're safe
IT'S A TRAP!
