Flying Squid to Showerthoughts@lemmy.world • 7 months ago

“Fly Me to the Moon” is a stupid song. You want to know what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars? Extremely unpleasant.

    Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.

    This song is about romance. They didn’t mean it literally.

    Edit: I’m pretty sure I got baited but I’ll keep it up. Got me today, squid :P

      You need to open up your music tastes…

        92% of songs are about love or sex.

        That’s got nothing to do with my personal taste, that’s sex selling (pop) music.

            Bah! I know what they really meant with those wordless songs! I’ve listened to enough Für Elise!

          I wish there was more variety. It’s ridiculous, frankly. The non-romantic songs can have such interesting subjects. Where are all the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgeralds and I Wish that I could Wear Hats?

            Metal, and punk have a lower ratio of love songs.

              Less sex and love and more politics and drugs.

              True, but unfortunately for me I don’t tend to enjoy those genres

      It’s old, but still entirely factual:

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.
