Showerthoughts

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.

Chapter 1

Aragorn sped on up the hill. Every now and again he bent to the ground. Hobbits go light, and their footprints are not easy even for a Ranger to read, but not far from the top a spring crossed the path, and in the wet earth he saw what he was seeking.

Suddenly a new voice could be heard. 'Hi, I'm Grady and this is Practical Engineering', Grady said.

Wait until you hear about 12 monkeys. That’s a lot of monkeys, right? Should be like 12 times better than King Kong.

Offtopic: But 12 Monkeys is a fun TV show to watch about time-travel. (Not to be confused with the movie, that one is boring)

The movie has slow pacing and odd structure, but it explores some interesting ideas. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think it’s was ok. Still not a classic you would watch several times.

I've watched it once. And my thought afterwards was, "hmm, interesting."

We just watched the film Conclave a few nights ago (after the popes death, it was planned though) and I thought basically the same thing, "hmm, not exciting but interesting." And I doubt I'll watch that again, if I do it'll be in a long long time.

Edit: the watching of Conclave was planned in advance, I was not insinuating that the popes death was planned...(Or?..no, but maybe it wa...no)

Perhaps you’d like to hear less over more books about a dark tower.

The dark tower collection has a inversely proportional quantity of books to the amount of tower on it

The only way I'm signing up is if Idris Elba is somehow involved.

That movie was so bad, despite Idris Elba

What movie? I don't remember any dark tower movie released in 2017 with IMDB ID tt1648190. You're imagining things.
