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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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 feel like Hollywood was trolling with Connery's roles. They cast him as a fucking Russian sub commander with that accent!
Yet he nailed the role. They changed all of the Russian lines to English anyways, with a really creative method that hadn't been done before.
And before the switch, they showed him speaking Russian so the audience could realise what a good decision it was!
That movie holds up!
Hollywood movies rarely do accents right anyway.
Well it just wouldn't be the same if a guy wearing a tux came up to a woman and said "Ello' Gov'nah! Name is Bond. James Bond, it surely is!"
Dick Van Dyke for the next Bond?
It's as if any play is for a given audience, and we have to bridge the gap with our own imagination. Crazy, right? 😆
Mind, I'm not criticizing your point, I agree with it, Hollywood has never been great with accents, it just has to be "good enough", like watching a stage play and the props have to be "good enough".
