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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

But if you do it at least you had sex.

**limit one per virgin.

Hang in there. They both lose pretty much any insult value in after one is out of their teens

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

In and of themselves? Yes. But, I think anything can still be offensive if they hurl it at you the right way. Though the offense taken is the feeling of disrespect and knowing their intent, more than the word. If someone called me a bed sheet in the right tone, I'd still be upset. lol

That's like 10% racist and I don't know how to explain why

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Why would I care what a pinecone fondler has to say about it?

Quick edit: I'm gonna have to stop because I'll accidentally come up with a hurtful one and then I'll feel terrible.

Thanks for stopping lantern fiddler.

I absolutely love that people around here have a sense of humor. I needed some silly bullshit after the past few days.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 3 points 6 months ago

In case no one told you, you've wandered into "silly bullshit central" on the internet. Welcome, have a beer, find a comfy chair!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Maybe it's because I've been married for decades and I have a kid, but I cannot imagine any situation in which I would find someone calling me a virgin to be offensive. Just very, very odd.

[–] fiercekitten@lemm.ee 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Only fuckers use virgin as an insult.

[–] Huschke@programming.dev 4 points 6 months ago

Does that also mean that only virgins use fucker as a insult?

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fuck has many meanings, "That fucking virgin" is an acceptable sentence to make that wouldn't be considered a contradiction

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"That virgin's fucking" is also an acceptable sentence that wouldn't be considered a contradiction. But only once.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If they're mid first fuck, are they still virgins until they finish? 🤔

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

No, despite what many Mormons tell themselves.

[–] Mastengwe@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Outside of high school, who thinks being a virgin is an insult?

[–] Leg@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The Tate boys. Or, dudes who peaked in highschool.

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

That's so sad.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

I've always been amused at the idiots who hit on a girl, get rejected, and then call the woman a whore for not sleeping with them.

[–] VulKendov@reddthat.com 7 points 6 months ago

"Fucker" is the same as "motherfucker," it just has an implied "mother"

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Fuck virgins

[–] OkGo@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I’m quite comfortable being damned, I’ll be with all my friends :)
