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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"Mr Bouchard-Roy-Tremblay-Barbier-Allard-Dupont and Ms Moreau-Dubois-Laurent-Aubert-Beaumont have flagrantly shown disrespect for French customs by desiring to call themselves Mr and Mrs Bouchard-Moreau-Roy-Dubois-Tremblay-Laurent-Barbier-Aubert-Allard-Beaumont-Dupont and MUST be forced to truncate this surname into no more than two parts with or without a single dash. They are a disgrace to the national culture."
"How DARE you call us disgraces. We, the Bouchard-Moreau-Roy-Dubois-Tremblay-Laurent-Fournier-Aubert-Allard-Beaumont-Duponts have a long, proud history of serving our country and its people and will not be treated in such a manner! We demand to be shown respect!"
The judge raises his hand to ask the room for silence and looks toward the defendants
"Please recite to me your name once more."
"Bouchard-Moreau-Roy-Dubois-Tremblay-Laurent-Fournier-Aubert-Allard-Beaufort-Dupont"
"IT IS SETTLED! You do not even know your own name and have persisted with this nonsense far too long! You filed your marriage request with the surname Bouchard-Moreau-Roy-Dubois-Tremblay-Laurent-Barbier-Aubert-Allard-Beaumont-Dupont and cannot properly recite it yourself! This is a disgraceful waste of the people's and the great government of France's time. You are hereby directed to choose a surname with no more than two parts separated or not by a dash and I will hear no more of this nonsense! Case dismissed!"
