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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Huh.
Disney killed a bunch of them to help perpetuate the myth.

Wtf... why?
Because Disney.
So its about big corpos spreading misinformation and trying to kill something small to earn more money. Lemmy (and the fediverse) wouldn't know anything about that, right?
