This is material for No Stupid Questions or Ask Lemmy communities, not a Showerthought
- Comment on Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous? 4 days ago:
Ok, just curious, I can think of other things that would make someone “successful” in the music world but I think talent would still be in my top 10 for sure. Not essential as I said, you don’t need to check everything in the list.
What are your top 10s?
- Comment on Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous? 5 days ago:
Fame comes with the right social connections and luck. Talent helps, but is secondary. Of course, if you have all three, you become very very well known and people will feel you deserve in some way the fame and fortune you have.

This is clearly not a showerthought, so…

Sir/Ma’am all you had to do was phrase it as a question, not a statement
I’m sure there have to be more specialized communities for this though
- Comment on Is possible to learn to swim, just by reading a lot about it? 6 days ago:
No.
There is only so much you can learn that is applicable to real life situation about body movement. I guess you can read that if you hold your breath and relax, or keep a certain upright posture with your arms extended, then you will remain afloat. But that’s about it. You need to go and try it. No matter for how many years you read, you need to first go and try the basics.
You can say the same about riding a bicycle I guess or rollerblades or a skateboard

That’s a really good point a lot of people miss. There are a lot of right answers in this post, different people, different results; age; etc. But if you don’t level up the challenge and make sure you are meeting those challenges correctly then you will stagnate. True for everything
- Comment on Australia | NSW woman on emotional ‘rollercoaster’ after losing arm in zoo lion attack, family says 6 days ago:
Okay so the only thing the article gets clear is that this lady in her 50s was in a staff only area in the lions enclosure when she got attacked. Zoo staff were cleaning the enclosure when it happened so nobody other than the victim saw the lion when it attacked.
Zoo policy is that staff never enters an enclosure with an adult lion in it. (I wonder how they do vet checks but hey what do I know).
This suggests it was staff responsibility/negligence for allowing her alone in with a lion, however, we don’t know:
-whether the staff knew there was a lion still in there -whether they knew the woman was there
So they are going to take their time in until they figure out exactly how and why and who is responsible for it

Sounds like you’d make a good AMA post

So practically a ritual. What’s the point of voting if there is only one candidate? Rhetorical question
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 1 week ago:
I can see the fuzz. Yes it’s probably the brand of paper. That’s a nice granite brush holder you got there.
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 1 week ago:
That’s if the dust is caused by the paper.
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 1 week ago:
Okay some people are answering with Bidet as a solution, which makes no sense (you are not going to hose down the bathroom are you?)
A photo could be useful in diagnosis, but maybe not. It could be the TP brand, it could also be regular dust since you mention it gets behind the toilet seat too.
Are you near a window? The worst cases of dust in the bathrooms that I’ve seen were caused by debris from the window. It doesn’t even need to be a large window. My money is on the TP brand from the sounds of it

Bring more homies, and more guns. What could go wrong?
- Comment on What things should I do if I spilled a small amount of scalding water from a kettle on my arm? 1 week ago:
Well it’s probably going to burn a little whenever you take a shower. In terms of time that’s difficult to estimate since everyone has different times for healing and we don’t know how severe or large the patch is. For reference, I’ve had boiling water burn my fingertips a couple times and it takes about 4 days to a week to heal enough so that I don’t feel it anymore, maybe add a few days until it’s gone for good. Your arm will be different though

Yes and I believe this isn’t really a showerthought

You’re in the right lemmy instance I see
- Comment on Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thought 1 week ago:
I’d still argue against that. I’ve had one true showerthought and it didn’t manifest as monologue, even though I do have an internal monologue. I had a concept and images for it. I spent some time trying to put it into words.
I still don’t see how a showerthought (or any thought) has to have a verbal origin in the thinker’s mind; I would argue any internal monologue is but a secondary step after a thought has occurred. I’ve never heard of anyone being unable to predict what their own internal monologue is saying, and I’ve never heard of anyone being unable to make quick decisions because they had to first hear a command in their minds.

Just because you don’t have an inner monologue doesn’t mean you are incapable of thought, or showerthoughts if we’re getting specific

I’m a 1 or 6. I like wearing a bra when I’m awake but I always remove it to sleep. Considering how most women apparently hate bras no matter the circumstances I’m surprised to see so many bra options and none for long sleeves or socks or even hats, all of which I’ve also slept in
- Comment on Is it morally wrong for an immigrant or naturalized citizen to "keep a low profile" and avoid speaking up against the government in order to minimize the risks of denaturalization/deportation? 1 week ago:
Fair enough. No, it’s not morally wrong. Also you said to keep a low profile. That doesn’t mean you don’t do anything if your identity is protected.
- Comment on Is it morally wrong for an immigrant or naturalized citizen to "keep a low profile" and avoid speaking up against the government in order to minimize the risks of denaturalization/deportation? 1 week ago:
Are you asking if it’s morally wrong for someone to save their own arse from an opressive government?

I’ve been there, about a year unemployed and spiralled into depression. Had to see a doctor. Have been working some shit jobs for about another year after that, and here we are, still looking for work.
I do recommend the doctor before it’s too late.

- Comment on China is cracking down on young women who write gay erotica 2 weeks ago:
You’re describing having to use your imagination while wanking as dystopian.
How am I doing that? Using imagination while wanking is perfectly fine. Arresting people for using their imagination is dystopian.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
People here saying consent (fair enough) but let me tell you, clothes are suggestive. There is more to suggestion and context than the actual content. Is anybody shocked to see a nude statue in a museum or something? Or in a painting? Now how about somebody wearing nothing but a g-string and a harness? You can argue the harnessed person in a gstring is less exposed than any nude. I say no. Clothing adds to the exposure sometimes. Underwear isn’t meant to be seen, so when it’s seen, it prompts judgement.

You have Chicken with a counterargument for why it’s anti queer in particular. I’ll take your anti porn frame instead just for the sake of it: still dystopian. Especially written. You can’t even make the case actors are being abused.
