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:
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.
I like the Nathan Fillion comment during some red carpet interview when the interviewer was trying to egg him into saying something that would get rage clicks from one side or the other of the current political trash fire.
"its just a movie guys"
Superman was not a brooding edge lord until Snyder's take outside of specific story runs, and it is obvious that a lot of people don't know that.
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.
love it, but it won't happen.
Dr Horrible was released 17 years ago.
The cinematic-repubLkan-universe kindness is weakness.. Good doesn't pretend to be evil. But evil does pretend to be good..ffs, 'the list is on my desk..."
They don't have a movie but they have a show. Homelander is the perfect 'hero' for these people. Only even the dullest dullard in the magat pile fails to recognize the character is evil but they never consider they are the baddies. Edit: fixed spell check.
I’m curious how this movie is, I’m used to the older ones and a show called Smallvile.
I did not know there was some anger about this Superman movie. Anyone could quick give me a small summary?
Though bit bummed out that they keep remaking movies and shows instead of making new ones.

James Gunn commented that Superman is an immigrant, and conservatives are losing their minds
People on Facebook are telling me he isn't an immigrant, he's from outer space. I'm so confused as to what they think an immigrant is
"Strange visitor from another planet" is one of the first things most people learn about him, right after him being neither a bird nor a plane.
Literally an illegal alien, and they refuse to see it.
The most illegal alien. Smallville had an episode where Clark helped hide an undocumented migrant. His mom tried to chastise him and he had to remind her his own paperwork is shady as hell.
illegal space alien.
and conservatives are losing their minds
"he can't be! He isn't brown!"
Apparently there is a black version of Superman in some comics and they were making a movie of him. Sadly, the movie has been cancelled.
To be fair, the cancelled movie would have been with Will Smith. I'm ok being without a Will Smith Superman movie. Steel did get his own movie, but without any Superman IP in it.
But that's nothing new. In Smallville there is one episode in which Clark literally said to his mother Martha that he is an illegal alien too.
That’s all? That’s why they’re upset? Sigh, it’s as if someone accidentally farts and then they rage.
Isn’t he kinda right though? If I remember well, Superman came from another planet.
There are two plausible explanations:
People think immigrant refers to a person who chose to move. Since Superman didn't arrive on Earth by choice, he's not an immigrant. This is, of course, incorrect.
People think the term immigrant only refers to people who look "different" compared to what is common in the region. This is, of course, racist.
If they're okay with immigrants who didn't come by choice, then all the children who were brought to America illegally by their parents should be allowed to stay and everyone born in America should be allowed to stay citizens.
As for Superman not looking like an immigrant, it is actually a big coincidence in-universe that he happens to look like a white human. There's no Europe on Krypton.

Now I want an alternate-universe Superman who happens to be black, and lands in racist-as-hell-ville in the rural USA.
he would be a refugee.
Refugees are a type of immigrant though.
This movie won me over when I saw Krypto and the fortress Bots. That’s the kind of stuff I’ve always wanted, but then idiots like Bryan Singer and Christopher Nolan (who clearly hate and are embarrassed by the source material) show up and want to make everything dark and “realistic” so characters like krypto don’t make it to the movies. Fuck realism, im watching a movie about a super alien fighting monsters, i don’t want realism in my comic book movies
I like realism. I also like fantasy. It's interesting to see different people takes on these characters imo. I think it would be boring if every time they make a new Superman franchise it was exactly like the last one.
I don't think Christopher Nolan was embarrassed by Batman and he only made a standalone trilogy. If he was embarrassed by Batman, he wouldn't have included an homage to Adam West Batman.
Singer and Synder are just edgelords. You can find them at any comic book store arguing about something stupid, but tolerated longer then they should be because they spend the most money.
On the Synder track, 300 is just a really uncomfortable movie. It’s a propaganda movie for a hell-state.
Isn't that like the point? The whole movie is visualization of the propaganda speech that the narrator (Dilios) is making before the battle of Plataea.
Conservatives are still mad that Superman fought the kkk.
If Superman were real, he 100% would have melted a lot of those racist fucks.
If you haven't, I highly recommend reading "Superman Smashes the Klan." An all-timer, based on a radio story from 1946, which was honestly its own kind of ballsy.
This POS
You mean 5'10” tall Ben Shapiro? The guy that never talks about his height and is actually 5'6”? The self confident alpha male? Yeah fuck this guy.
I just came out of watching the new movie.
In the scene in which Clark gets interviewed, seen also in the trailer, it is transparent that Superman is with Francesca Albanese on a very current issue.
That's what they are mad about.
I guess WB/DC is gonna fall out of grace.
That makes me more interested in watching it honestly.
I am not an American and I have never been a Superman fan. I had fun, I felt represented, I was entertained, cannot wait for a sequel, am looking forward for Peacemaker S2 and whatever else is planned.
Warmly recommended. I really think all Americans should see it, as it may have a very good and stronger effect on them.
