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.

I'm sure there must be some out there, but in the English speaking world I'd say it's the most unique name I've heard.

Like…first off. HOW was that in a kids movie??? Secondly, it’s just there. Like the ghost knew Ray wanted it, and Ray knew to let it happen. Then the movie just moves on, and other than Ray being embarassed to explain he had it happen, it’s never mentioned again.

The kids never quite understood what happened but it was so quick they just moved on.

And this is how children’s movies were until like 20 or 30 years ago when everything got soft round edges.

Exactly, at 10 I didnt know what happened but since it wasnt key to the story I did not care.

So that's what they meant by "fun for the whole family"
