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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That's kind of how stage names work.

I've insisted people call me "esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie" for months and only like 2 people here ever did that. Breaks my heart.๐Ÿ’”

Whoa whoa whoa, are you Margot Robbie? As in, the esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie? What an honor.

Of course I am, would I really lie to you over the Internet?

NGL, The first time I saw your username I really truly believed, and My heart was pounding and I was astounded and I was about to post something telling everyone that

she's really here! She's one of us!

I went down quite a rabbit hole reading everything in your profile before I realized

you're extremely knowledgeable about computers and you spend a lot of time on Lemmy, couldn't possibly be a world-traveling, in-high-demand, constantly busy Hollywood actress.

But I've also imagined after every interview we've seen her do, she immediately picks up her smartphone and goes straight to Lemmy because this is where she spends all her free time.

It's surprising how much extra time I can save when without Twitter or Instagram in my life.

Also, why can't I know a little bit about computers? Didn't I tell you Barbie is everything?

One of these days there'll be an interview where Margot Robbie talks about her constant use of Lemmy

And I want to believe I will finally win that Oscar next March...

I will be rooting for you, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie

Fingers crossed that I'll get to call you esteemed Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie

You're the most prolific person on Lemmy or I just always notice your comments. Because I'm a huge fan of course.

We should form a Margot Robbie groupie club! I suggest The Margots.

Sounds fun, can I join?

Hey, have you ever met Taylor Swift? I heard she gives great IT security advice over at https://infosec.exchange/@SwiftOnSecurity

But was she ever an Internet forum moderator?
