If contemporary professional comedians were magically taken to the Paleolichic, they'd probably work much earlier in the day. Back then, there were no Late Night Shows or well-lit comedy clubs.

    And even if they did have clubs, they’re not speaking the same language, so no one would get the jokes

          Yeah, comedians would be hard pressed to compete with Britney.

      I laugh at jokes I didn’t hear if the one who says them is smiling or laughing, so I wouldn’t be so sure

      If they did speak the same language what jokes could they tell that would be relatable?

      Dick and fart jokes maybe?

        I’m imaging Seinfield-like observational comedy but with other themes. “Hunter-gathering? What’s the deal? I do all the gathering and none of the hunting!”

          I’m struggling with Richard Pryor shit jokes. “You ever have a shit that sticks to the toilet bowl?”

          “Boo! Grog not know what toilet bowl is. Don’t like intellectual humour.”

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
