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.

It's shit except the visuals
It's not "shit." That's just an over correction to its relative success for its mediocrity. Excluding the visuals, it's fine. It's not stellar, not terrible, just... fine. Simple. There are plenty of worse movie plots, dialogue and acting out there. It's nowhere near unwatchable.
It's a vehicle for the visuals and technology showcasing on a basic film frame, yes. But, it's allowed to be really good at one thing and appreciated for that.
Like a plain chip in some bomb-ass dip. You could've scooped it on a dirty shoe and someone would have licked it clean. But, you gave me a plain chip instead, which is better... even if boring. So, thanks.
The writing sucks, the acting is ok, the plot is incoherent, the characters are shallow.
It's a shit movie except the pretty pictures.
Agree to disagree.
