“Fly Me to the Moon” is a stupid song. You want to know what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars? Extremely unpleasant.

      Listen to it to get it out of your head! I recommend the Blossom Dearie version.

    Yeah and you want to play among the stars? They are all lightyears away from each other so you’d just be playing in empty space. Makes no sense at all.

      Plus:

      1.) No oxygen, so hope you brought your spacesuit, dumbass.

      B.) If you do get too close to a star, you’re dead meat.

      The man has a death wish. It’s an irresponsible song.

      They are all lightyears away from us, but there are some star clusters, particularly closer to the middle of the Milky Way, that are relatively close to each other.

      What’s a metaphor? I’m sailing on a sea of ignorance when it comes to taking the journey into learning, but my glass remains half full that I’ll understand metaphors one day. The light bulb will turn on and I’ll no longer be looking like I’m up shit creek without a paddle when it comes to these posts.

    Made me chuckle this morning. Of course the writer, Bart Howard, wasn’t being literal. I bet what’s really eating at you is how much money they’ve made on this song for seemingly nonsensical lyrics.

    Great tune. 😜

      To be honest, I just heard the song and thought, “what a silly thing to sing.”

    Every song ever is about romance, sex or drugs.

    This song is about romance. They didn’t mean it literally.

    Edit: I’m pretty sure I got baited but I’ll keep it up. Got me today, squid :P

        92% of songs are about love or sex.

        That’s got nothing to do with my personal taste, that’s sex selling (pop) music.

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.
