    Same for those who hear the music in their heads whenever they see the title.

        It clearly says Rick. Why do you attempt such low-effort humor?

      I see people say this online, and I’ve seen it online for 20+ years. I don’t get the game. And apperently, it’s not the same game we used to play in middle school. You know the one. I tried playing that game at work, where you just run up to someone, reach your hands down someones pants, shove several fingers into their butthole, and yell YATZEE! if you manage all 5. My supervisor at work was NOT amused.

      So if this game isn’t that game, and it’s not the other game, I don’t know what the game is, or why people say I just lost the game.

      …is this about that rapper from the early 2000s? Did he die? Did we lose him?

    Learning to read at all is just opening yourself up to all sorts of new avenues of attack.

    I… Walked right into that one.

    It was a post talking about “Never Gonna Give You Up.” It mentions Rick rolling on click.

    Clicked the damn link anyway.

    I love the internet

    Don’t have to recognize the whole URL. XcQ, link stays blue.

    Never understood the joke anyway, though.

    Maybe the next generation of Rickrolling should involve providing a link to a real video but disguising it to look like the Rickroll link?

      Reverse rickrolling. Only works if rickrolling is still a thing, otherwise people will just click the link ;)

      My ex once got rickrolled in a public bus. I said the song is cool and kept it playing on speakerphone. The whole bus genuinely enjoyed it (people singing along), nobody complained :)

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.
