I’m doing well. I have a good life. But holy shit, I’m so tired. The world is so terrible and I’m just fed up. I wish I could just check out and take a break, but it keeps going. Cheers.
This post is certainly outside of the norm of shower thoughts. I think in general people want posts that score a little higher on the scale of funny and interesting. Taking the sidebar strictly:
- Does this thought pop into people’s heads? yeah, probably
- Is it lighthearted? Not really, but its friendly.
- Is it clever? No
- Is it true? Yes
It doesn’t really vibe with the rest of the sub but idk what sub one would put this in.
Sorry I had to run and didn’t get to wrap up my thought.
I don’t really mind if a post isn’t a perfect fit. I try to give the benefit of the doubt. If we had hundreds of really strong posts every day then I imagine I would be more strict. Lemmy is small so at least we can be friendly and supportive in decisions that aren’t clear cut.
Ah ok that’s a much better fit
Exist out of spite. The terrors persist, but so do I.
Ooh, I like this. Thanks!
Thanks, idk if op needed this but I did
I like this. Let’s do it.
At this point I’m convinced that the terrors are persisting out of spite for me, personally.
Welp terror gonna terror, i guess. Hence the existing out of spite!
You’re not alone.
Take a week. Avoid any social media, news, etc. as much as you possibly can. Try to get out in nature by going for short walks and just focus on doing things you enjoy (or try something new). Yes, the world keeps going - but you need to recharge your batteries, my friend. Take. A. Break.
This is the way.
I’m tired boss
Wrong sub, but I agree with you wholeheartedly Every single word of it.
Burnout.
A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn’t feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don’t know how long
I was only awake for nine hours of yesterday and it was great.
I slept nearly 12 hours last night, woke up, had a panic attack, then took a nap for four hours.
Woke up, put on The Elephant Graveyard Radio Hour, danced and cleaned my house happy.
It’s also been a long time since a nap like that worked so well. Sometimes ya just need to sleep.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I also think of overthrowing the oligarchy in the shower.
I’m with you dude (virtual hug)
Thank you.
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideon’s Bible

I said, God, he stole the handle and,
The train it won’t stop goin’
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath
I’ve never heard this song, but it can be sung to the tune of Folsom prison
Just listen to the song and you’ll hear rock music’s best and worst flutist at the same time.
No one fluttertounges like Jethro
Mind blown
Nice deep cut
Hello darkness my old friend, I have come to speak with you again…
Same, fellow human, same.
We’re all scared, it’s the human condition. Why do you thinks I put on this tough guy facade? Now, beat it!
This belongs in !casualconversation@lemmy.world or !shootingthebreeze or whatever, not here. Like 1 in 3 other posts, yes. Literally breaks rules #1 and #2.
The “mods” in this community are asleep at the wheel. Might as well not have them.
You’re right! We should lock down every community to very strict rules in order to sanitize it and know exactly what we’re getting! I want to come here for variations on “if bread bowl for soup, why not cabbage bowl for salad?” And an echo chamber with no new ideas instead of one-off non-repeat-offenders dropping the occasional off topic rule bending whatevers. Maybe we should rename this place too. Maybe read-it or something.
On the other hand, let’s fill Technology with talk about bicycle repair and dishwasher purchases because they are technology and Food with motivational quotes from LinkedIn because they are food for thoughts and Movies with discussions about American politics because 👏🏻 everything 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 political ✊🏻 and then we can fill everything else with compilations of America’s Funniest Home Videos and barely related bot generated AI slop because what kind of nazi fascist conformist rights do mods have to try to keep some order and its not a phase and you’re not my real dad anyway.
I hear you. I do. I was taking a comically hard opposing stance to that comment but I’m really advocating for a little more tolerance for one-off posts. People who really gatekeep turn people off from posting (and we kind of suffer from a deficit of posts here on lemmy).
I don’t know why you all are so afraid to rectify a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes. It’s natural. It’s also good to do something about it and learn from the experience.
Maybe we should rename this place too.
This is the best of your ideas.
How does it break rule 1? Are you watching OP and reading their mind to know for sure they didn’t think of this while in the shower?
Also this community is actively asking for more mods. They’re saying they’re not active enough to do it all.
A shower thought is not just any thought in a shower or a thought about showers. It’s something slightly random and absurd and most often humorous to some degree. Quite often an observation of some sort. Something that typically happens when you zone out while having a shower.
I too have my best existential crisis while in the shower
Check the community description, it has a decent definition of “showerthought”. With examples for clarity.
Also this community is actively asking for more mods.
So that explains it.
You know what? No one gives a fuck about your bitching.
If we do things as you seem to want, then there’s no point even having separate communities. Let’s just have one big bin and every day we can throw 10,000 conversation into it like junk.
The rules are there for a reason.
You might have a better experience on Reddit.
But that’s the point. I don’t want to have to go there to have a good experience. I want to have it here.
The world’s a tough place, Karen. If you want to redefine what a shower thought is, you’re free to create your own community. I see nothing in this post that contravenes “thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming”, and while I see you screeching that rule 2 is broken, consider that the title is, in fact, a complete thought. The text can be seen as followup or self-examination - do you need an explanation of what that is?
I like my junk pile of analog human experience
A lot of us already browse /all. lol
The rules are there so people don’t wander into a science community and proselytise their religion, harassing the people with comments that God created the universe and dinosaurs are false. Not so someone doesn’t post in shower thoughts with a thought that very likely actually did occur while showering.
