It's a digital image of a painting!

(Six, if you fold the pages back.)

... or a web link to the digital image ... but, a link is a pipe, so ... Ceci est une pipe !

The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it's just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture "This is a pipe", I'd have been lying!

This one took me a minute. But yes, it's not. Don't linger on that thought too long, though. The words that you read right now... are those my words?

Am I the one writing this comment or the one reading it?

If you immediately know that the caldlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.

I love the (currently one) down vote on your post. Clearly not a connoisseur of René's work.

Your shower thought on the other hand is on point!

Nicely done.

Agreed. OP did well.

And it's an opportunity for me to re-post this seminal picture (or, one instance of it):

😆 that's a good one! I haven't seen it before, and I thought I'd gone through all of them (to date)! Cheers!

I have never seen that! I wish I could upvote you twice, you wonderful person.

It really isn't, because this is what I see:

If you use Jerboa, don't be fooled, the image I uploaded isn't actually broken. This is just what broken images look like.

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
