      How long does your pubic hair have to be to qualify as underpants?

        Depends on how fat your ass is. But anywhere from 3 to 6 feet.

    The brits neatly sidestep this quandry by calling them pants and trousers respectively, and I think they’ve honestly got the superior system there. I mean one of our American gods (Superman) wears them on the outside, how can we continue in good conscience to call them “under”-pants?

        Akshually, those are tights, not pants. And those “underpants” are short pants.

            Look man, I’m trying here. I don’t have all the answers so you’ll have to figure some things out for yourself. Good luck.

      Not if it’s nose is still wet.

      But they shouldn’t drive to the vet, just in case.

    The yanks had it wrong; underpants never existed. Just pants and trousers

    I suggest establishing a formal hierarchy of *-pants, with individual terms to distinguish shape, purpose and colour in conjunction with effective and/or absolute layer. And you should be the one to do it, because I don’t have time for that.

      Layer-0 pants are the ones touching your arse.
      Layer-1 pants cover Layer-0 (tights, stockings, trousers).
      Layer-2 pants (optional) cover Layer-1 (shorts over tights, trousers, etc…)

      Simple

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.
