I’m doing well. I have a good life. But holy shit, I’m so tired. The world is so terrible and I’m just fed up. I wish I could just check out and take a break, but it keeps going. Cheers.
This post is certainly outside of the norm of shower thoughts. I think in general people want posts that score a little higher on the scale of funny and interesting. Taking the sidebar strictly:
- Does this thought pop into people’s heads? yeah, probably
- Is it lighthearted? Not really, but its friendly.
- Is it clever? No
- Is it true? Yes
It doesn’t really vibe with the rest of the sub but idk what sub one would put this in.
I say find a hobby you can do and check out. Today I was flying my kite and tuned out
We’re all scared, it’s the human condition. Why do you thinks I put on this tough guy facade? Now, beat it!
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
I also think of overthrowing the oligarchy in the shower.
That’s just the impending clinical depression creeping in.
A couple of years back I fell asleep at like 8 PM and slept through to 6:30 AM. Then I fell back asleep around 8 or 9 and slept until noon. When I woke up I didn’t feel tired at all. This had been the first time I felt like that in I don’t know how long
I slept nearly 12 hours last night, woke up, had a panic attack, then took a nap for four hours.
Woke up, put on The Elephant Graveyard Radio Hour, danced and cleaned my house happy.
It’s also been a long time since a nap like that worked so well. Sometimes ya just need to sleep.
I was only awake for nine hours of yesterday and it was great.
Exist out of spite. The terrors persist, but so do I.
Thanks, idk if op needed this but I did
At this point I’m convinced that the terrors are persisting out of spite for me, personally.
I was never one to analyze dreams but I thought it was comical a couple weeks ago I told someone I have repetitive dreams where I am just hanging out in an empty parking garage at night. Just grey cement, don’t really know what floor it’s on, not the bottom, not the top. Throwing a ball around with a couple people I don’t know or can’t even see. The ball rolls down the ramps when someone doesn’t catch it and we spend most of our time running back down to fetch them. At no point in time am I ever trying to change what’s going on, the conversations are just blurs of nothing worth noting. Yet I still don’t want the dream to end and have to get up so I keep pushing it forward.
Not till they mentioned that interprets to feeling worried/ stressed, stuck, and unmotivated did I ever consider, well yeah… Of course that’s what that means. I haven’t had that dream since, but it was comical to take something I was blatantly ignoring and putting words to it.
Not saying any of it has real merit, just conversing
You’re not alone.
Take a week. Avoid any social media, news, etc. as much as you possibly can. Try to get out in nature by going for short walks and just focus on doing things you enjoy (or try something new). Yes, the world keeps going - but you need to recharge your batteries, my friend. Take. A. Break.
Same, fellow human, same.
This belongs in !casualconversation@lemmy.world or !shootingthebreeze or whatever, not here. Like 1 in 3 other posts, yes. Literally breaks rules #1 and #2.
The “mods” in this community are asleep at the wheel. Might as well not have them.
You’re right! We should lock down every community to very strict rules in order to sanitize it and know exactly what we’re getting! I want to come here for variations on “if bread bowl for soup, why not cabbage bowl for salad?” And an echo chamber with no new ideas instead of one-off non-repeat-offenders dropping the occasional off topic rule bending whatevers. Maybe we should rename this place too. Maybe read-it or something.
On the other hand, let’s fill Technology with talk about bicycle repair and dishwasher purchases because they are technology and Food with motivational quotes from LinkedIn because they are food for thoughts and Movies with discussions about American politics because 👏🏻 everything 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 political ✊🏻 and then we can fill everything else with compilations of America’s Funniest Home Videos and barely related bot generated AI slop because what kind of nazi fascist conformist rights do mods have to try to keep some order and its not a phase and you’re not my real dad anyway.
I hear you. I do. I was taking a comically hard opposing stance to that comment but I’m really advocating for a little more tolerance for one-off posts. People who really gatekeep turn people off from posting (and we kind of suffer from a deficit of posts here on lemmy).
Maybe we should rename this place too.
This is the best of your ideas.
You know what? No one gives a fuck about your bitching.
If we do things as you seem to want, then there’s no point even having separate communities. Let’s just have one big bin and every day we can throw 10,000 conversation into it like junk.
The rules are there for a reason.
I like my junk pile of analog human experience
A lot of us already browse /all. lol
How does it break rule 1? Are you watching OP and reading their mind to know for sure they didn’t think of this while in the shower?
Also this community is actively asking for more mods. They’re saying they’re not active enough to do it all.
I too have my best existential crisis while in the shower
A shower thought is not just any thought in a shower or a thought about showers. It’s something slightly random and absurd and most often humorous to some degree. Quite often an observation of some sort. Something that typically happens when you zone out while having a shower.
Check the community description, it has a decent definition of “showerthought”. With examples for clarity.
Also this community is actively asking for more mods.
So that explains it.
I’m with you dude (virtual hug)
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideon’s Bible
Open at page one
I said, God, he stole the handle and,
The train it won’t stop goin’
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath
I’ve never heard this song, but it can be sung to the tune of Folsom prison
Just listen to the song and you’ll hear rock music’s best and worst flutist at the same time.
No one fluttertounges like Jethro
Mind blown
Nice deep cut
Me too bruh
