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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

There is a Swedish movie called Naked, which is about a guy who gets Groundhog Day'd in the following way: He wakes up naked in an elevator in an apartment building, he is hungover because it was his bachelor party the night before where he was black out drunk, and his friends left him here in the elevator. As a bonus they shoved a condom up his behind. He has a few hours before his wedding.
It had an american remake, I didn't know it was originally a swedish movie : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_(2017_film)
But if it's like Let The Right One In and the Millenium trilogy, the swedish version must be better, I've got to watch it
And to anyone thinking it's european smug /anti-americanism, no I actually enjoyed some american remakes like True Lies, but the swedish Millenium trilogy with Noomi Rapace is great, just as the original Let Me In / Let The Right One In
Right! I have seen the american version too. Neither is a particular good movie. And you should not approach the Swedish film with high hopes of finding something brilliant. You should expect it to be very crass, and see it if you just want to find out what weird shit Swedes create when no one is looking.
I loved Dead Snow (which is norvegian, not swedish) so yeah I kinda like weird shit / crass movies
Ah, but that one is good though :-)
While on the topic... Iron Sky is a Finnish film but in the english language. Quite good. The same creators did Star Wreck: in the pirkinning, a parody movie, this one in Finnish. Too long ago since I saw it to remember if it was funny, mostly odd I think... But they might be something for you then.
