EDIT: I don't think I conveyed what I meant well enough in the post. I was talking about something like, say, reading. It's my favorite hobby. If I was forced to never read again, I'd be absolutely miserable. But if I completely forgot about reading, there wouldn't exactly be anything to miss.

I actually found a genie and wished to forget beautiful memories that I'd never experience again.

The pictures of my wedding looked nice, and I sure looked happy when my son was born. Kinda feel like I'd made a bad wish.

This just makes me even more curious to know what you were up to during the infamous Three Days.

Somebody's been crying in the shower...

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Meh. I'd like to wipe those with my ex, but never those i've experienced with friends and family. Or my cats.

Wiping all good memories means you're left with bad one, that's one step closer to suicide.

That actually sounds like SonicShowerThoughts.

This sounds more like an unpopular opinion than a shower thought

[-] IronDonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Strongly disagree. The memories themselves are nice. We should be able to remember the past for it's own sake, without worrying about the future and what it will involve.

[-] DreadTowel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I think one should remember the happy moments to know what's possible. If you've been there before, the place exists and you can get there again.

Watch eternal sunshine off the spotless mind.

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:

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.
