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.

Hollywood, famous for its intolerance of sex pests.

You underestimate their love of money.

Look at tarantino, fucker makes movies about rewriting slavery, wwii, and the manson family. Where the fuck is he now? He'll only write the movie where obama runs trump over with a car but fuck if he plays a part in stopping this authoritarian take over.

He's busy making the movie about how Roman Polanski raping a 13 year old was "not a rape".

At this pace by the time I die people will look down on me for not having my own child bride.

Idk in america because you obviously consume hollywood but I think for the rest of the world hollywood is dying. The amount of american movies and shows my nieces and neaphews watch is much less than I did in the 90s. Asian content on the other hand is skyrocketing. at least in my corner of the world

In the US, I could count on a single hand the number of Hollywood movies my coworkers have talked about in the last two years

Like a ramp up of "eat the rich" kind of stuff?

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Nah, most of Hollywood is the rich that deserve eating. They'll never cosign to such propaganda.

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry, I'm not sure what kind of vengeance porn you mean

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I guess I'm responding more to your insinuation than the carry-on from OP's post.

I could see Hollywood cosigning on anti-pedo "revenge porn", but definitely not "eat the rich" stuff. (at least more than the vapid "Lex Luthor bad" style of useless 'eat the rich' stuff they always do)

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Oh my bad, I didn't notice you weren't OP

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then Hollywood is truly up for grabs.

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

Has been for a while. See all of the "low budget" movies that have been kicking ass over the last few years.

[–] stenAanden@feddit.dk 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Like, movies or actual porn?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Hollywood isnt ready for dennis's dolph lundgren, unfortunately.
