    Chris Cornell is the GOAT. That’s all I have to say.

    The song is so weird. It means absolutely nothing, just a bunch of imagery he thought would sound cool, but I still get goosebumps like it’s something real.

      Hey I’ve seen this phrase across many platforms. Telling people they need to swim. What media sparked this?

        It’s from the song Aenima by Tool.

        The overall flavor of the song itself is similar in kind. TLDR: Can’t wait for a natural disaster to come wash away the inanity via global flooding.

        The “Learn to swim” comes from the verse:

        I’ve a suggestion to keep you all occupied; Learn to swim.

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
