    It’s a digital image of a painting!

    (Six, if you fold the pages back.)

      … or a web link to the digital image … but, a link is a pipe, so … Ceci est une pipe !

    The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture “This is a pipe”, I’d have been lying!

    This one took me a minute. But yes, it’s not. Don’t linger on that thought too long, though. The words that you read right now… are those my words?

      Am I the one writing this comment or the one reading it?

        If you immediately know that the caldlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.

    I love the (currently one) down vote on your post. Clearly not a connoisseur of René’s work.

    Your shower thought on the other hand is on point!

    Nicely done.

      Agreed. OP did well.

      And it’s an opportunity for me to re-post this seminal picture (or, one instance of it):

        Also an excuse to post my favourite Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic.

          😆 that’s a good one! I haven’t seen it before, and I thought I’d gone through all of them (to date)! Cheers!

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    It really isn’t, because this is what I see:

    If you use Jerboa, don’t be fooled, the image I uploaded isn’t actually broken. This is just what broken images look like.

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.
