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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

The whole song is ironic, if you imagine the singer is supposing a story tale quality to her life. It's unexpected (and therefore ironic) if I expect my life to turn out perfectly, but then other normal and expected things occur that prevent my fantasy from materializing.
This. Everything in the song is ironic if you think about it the right way.
