YOLO should really be used as a caution, like "Wear your seatbelt, dumbass. YOLO!"

      If we come back then as completely different persons, without any memories of the past life. Kind of like a reused canvas. This makes every life unique

    the band Weyes Blood has a song that you’d never guess is using YOLO as a background harmony while singing about the end of days. The video is just silly mockery of the whole idea.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X_UKDPR7k_E

    Her music is an odd combo of psychedelic, 1970s Crystal Gail, 2000s angst but mostly pure cynicism. She is one of a kind for sure. Her videos are silly awesome and unsuspecting.

      Weyes Blood is phenomenal. I’ve never really looked into her back catalog much though, this was funny to see. Speaking of her music videos, Twin Flame is one of my favorites

        haha I hadn’t noticed this video!

        The Andromeda video is fuckin funny too… like a space explorer is stuck on a empty world and prays for divine intervention

        but the intervention they got is a comet that comes to kill them

        lol that crazy chick

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.
