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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You sure? I don't see any redeeming qualities in Disney nor Nintendo.

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.

Disney absolutely who the antagonist represented in the winter soldier

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.
