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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Like... In my opinion, a hole is when it does not go through, and when it does, it becomes a tunnel. A straw is a tunnel. A hole in a piece of paper is a tunnel. A bowl is a hole.

Allow me to introduce you to the concepts of "blind holes" and "through holes"...

In the eye of our creators, we are all donuts.

Personally, I think "butthole" sounds more pleasant than "butt tunnel."

That's because you've only named one end of the tunnel. It's the Mouth-Butt Tunnel.

Now it sounds as if someone is charging tolls.

Oh no now I just thought this a bit more, holes may not even exist, it's either a crater or a hole. Fuck

it’s either a crater or a hole. Fuck

Don't you mean either a crater or a tunnel?

Did you just watch SNL? You should tag Andy Samberg and tell him this

Holes don't exist. It describes a location that lacks the material surrounding it. Kind of like coldness is lack of heat or darkness is lack of light. Cold and dark aren't actual things in the universe.
