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

What's the monkey's paw when simply adding "that works how I expect it to" to the end of any wish?
"You expected me to grant the letter of your wish in a way that subverted the spirit of your wish or you wouldn't have put 'that works how I expect it to' on the end. I fulfilled your expectations exactly as requested. Having a 10-inch penis on your forehead was exactly the sort of result you expected given how too-good-to-be-true your stumbling onto my lamp was, was it not?"
Haha good call. What about "that works the way I want it to?"
Now you cant help but believe you deserve this hellish existence you brought on yourself.
that assumes you know exactly what you want though, which I think most people wouldn't at the time of making the wish
