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.

How is kindness a bad thing? I thought that was universally agreed to be a good message to have in a piece of media. I guess the excuse is they don't want media to have messages at all but like, how would you even have a movie where the hero has no values that they stand for?

Captain Hammer best superhero, who's with me on this

I so want a sequel to the sing along blog.

Dr Horrible has become obsessed with reviving Penny by turning back time. He doesn't care how many people need to die, because he believes he can "fix" things. But the risk of time travel is the destruction of the universe...

Captain Hammer, now knowing what pain is, has two choices, grow and overcome the pain, or continue to hide away...

And Penny. The multiple zombies, and clones, and computer simulations of Penny that were never "right". Well, she too has her parts to play.

That plot was already made by marvel, almost to a T

Dr Horrible was released 17 years ago.
