If you called someone "skinface" it would feel like a huge insult even though it's meaningless and people's faces are made out of skin.

    That’s rich coming from a bony, food-horking, air-breathing, water bag. You sound like someone who poops.

    Fat people should be called “skinny” since they have more skin than a thin person.

    any word can sound like an insult if you say it with the right tone, I think? Isn’t there a song somewhere on YT about words that aren’t technically slurs that makes that point?

      Oh, definitely! I’m half European and half Arabian and living in Europe. Back in my teenage days, when having a huge conflict at school. I would shout “ibn” which just means “son”. Shout it in the right tone when angry and people will think it is some huge insult.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
