    Sloopy is a word that deserves broader usage.

    But dat ass is made of well-developed muscles and optimal pelvic bone structure. They put in the work to get those glutes. It is deeper than skin both physically and metaphorically.

          Some. times…

          Whenever I see that phrase, I have to sing it to the tune of REM’s Everybody Hurts.

          Am I the only one?

    I think the original adage was beauty is only skin deep but ugliness goes to the bone.

      Ugliness as in personality, not appearance.

        No, originally, it was all appearance. You should have seen this guy. They never thought it was possible until they saw this guy. Ugly to the bone. There’s no other way to describe him.

    I knew a kid who found skulls genuinely beautiful, he collected animal skulls. He was really fucking weird and I would not be surprised if he had some human skulls somewhere.

    Always assumed the phrase was referring to your attitude. Beauty is only skin deep is something you say about a handsome asshole or a beautiful cunt. If you look max you are often neglecting a personality. Hince their beauty being only skin deep. Look any deeper into them and you see a cesspool of a personality. I’m not a doctor though so what do i know?

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.
