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:

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.

Was thinking about an isekai where a mime mimes getting hit by a bus and gets transported to another world but just keeps on miming

As much as you'd save on not having a voice actor, I'm pretty sure a modern cartoon or anime that doesn't have a protagonist who speaks wouldn't do as well as it did in the past when you had the real old cartoons that came out before sound came with movies and you didn't need a live orchestra.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd be get kinds bored after a few episodes of not hearing the protagonist speak at all. Closest I can think of that we've gotten is probably the remake of Dororo that came out somewhere close to a half decade ago. And that's with a protagonist who only really started speaking gradually more as the series progressed.
