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.
Grace Kelly said something similar years ago: “Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality.”. We have all known this for decades. The sleazy hollywood rapist was a thing long before Harvey was outed. They all knew, and yet they all kept their mouths shut.
This is why its always been so perplexing to me that so much of society looks to hollywood for its morality lessons.
It is any better.
It's also not okay what DC did, but the transgressions are very different in scale.
Kimmel was faired for saying "MAGA is trying to make it look like the shooter wasn't a MAGA activist", while Felker-Martin got fired for saying "it's a good thing Kirk can no longer take part in podcasts."
I don't think either of those is grounds for firing, but it's not good to bring them to the same level.
Why did you do it stan?
"The money, of couse."

I've been avoiding Disney (Florida including Disney), since Ron DeSantis tried to ban words "change" and "climate".
I won't change this until the climate is right.
Now look at who's running Nintendo (of America). Guy named Bowser. That will never not be funny. (Coincidentally, a guy who hacked one of their consoles and is now essentially a wage slave to them, forced to give up like half his paycheck to them, is also named Bowser.)
Disney and Nintendo are both widely loved companies that have done some very bad things for the world. Maybe the true villains. But, like anything and anyone else, it's shades of grey, neither of them are completely diabolically evil.
neither of them are completely diabolically evil
You sure? I don't see any redeeming qualities in Disney nor Nintendo.
Maybe that’s why all their stories suck, completely unfounded in reality
thinking of all the movies where good triumphs over evil
You're right. Evil usually wins IRL.
Someone should make a parody of that. Like Disney makes a superhero called "Free School Lunch Man" while funding candidates who are against that idea.
Someone post the astronaut meme

It's not just Disney... I'm pretty sure all these 1st world nations do the same. We've been used and manipulated and suckered into complacency from their offerings and or marketed false promises.
Disney absolutely who the antagonist represented in the winter soldier
