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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Anakin was portrated as a hot head and with poor impulse control in the Clone Wars series, the real hero and the greatest jedi on star wars was Obi-wan.
He didn't succumb to the dark side even when Satine died, he keep his promisses to train Anakin on the dying momments of Qui-Gon Jinn, he looked over and protect Luke on the sh*ithole of planet Tatooine and even in the end, he didn't hesitate accept his fate and strenght his bond with the force
The Revenge of the Sith novelization pretty much describes Obi-wan as the perfect jedi.
I’m reading this now for the first time. All of the conversations between Palpatine and Anakin leading up to the fall add so much flavour to his fall. Worth a read for sure.
...and yet the death of Qui-Gon is meant to be the event that set Anakin's fate.
Tatooine is the planet you seek, Yoda's on Dagobah.
But seriously, I agree with this take.
