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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

But 'cold' and 'heated' are bad. People are weird about temperature.

Ice cold insult. Sick burn.

"You warm up the ice! It's the best of both worlds!"

See also "they have a hot head" vs "they have a hot body/face"

Would "hot blooded" be good or bad? 🤔

I guess if your temperature is 103 then it's bad, unless you're a Foreigner.

And sizzling is good.
