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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Some things probably should stay on Reddit. Like poop-knives.

Along with Jolly Ranchers and guys who break both of their arms.

I remember the jolly rancher story, but not the one where they broke both their arms.

It goes way back. That one must be at least 8 years old.

Let’s see… according to Know Your Meme it’s from 2011. You’re probably better off not reading about it.

Hopefully I never have to see or hear "poop-kinives" ever again.

I was expecting some rando to comment on this with his fediverse username related to something poop-knify. Might still happen.

Unfortunately it's become part of internet lore, I think it will last a long time as a reference or old in-joke. Luckily Lemmy is also giving us new ones, like beans or the 3-day no-poop challenge.

Tip: Just like on old Reddit, you have to use two spaces after a line to get a proper line break.
