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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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'm tired about reading about reddit here.

We left. Let's move on.

Instead of reddit, why not talk about something more positive on your date, like how many tickets you are going to buy for my new movie, "Barbie", only in theaters July 21st?

Wait, Barbie™ ? The upcoming fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig from a screenplay she wrote with Noah Baumbach? Based on the Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel? The first live-action Barbie film after many computer-animated direct-to-video and streaming television films? The film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, respectively, alongside an ensemble supporting cast that includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell?

That's "Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie" to you!

Now wait a minute I came to get away from advertising but with well written synopsis how can I say no to seeing this movie.

July 21st

sorry babe, Pikmin 4 comes out that day. I'm busy 😎

You should buy tickets for your 4 Pikmins too!

Hello Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie (sometimes I get mistaken for you). Is it true you were cast in Barbie because you have plastic feet?

Nice try Quentin, you already got me once with "Once upon a time in Hollywood", you are not going to get me again.

C'mon it'll be fine, just drive that pink car with your plastic feet on the dashboard

Doubt she can beat Esteemed Character Actress Margot Martindale.

  1. So I can see it 4 times by myself.
[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why not buy an extra ticket for the seat next to yours every time, so you can have more seat room all to yourself?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is this really Margot Robbie, Academy Award-nominated actress of upcoming blockbuster summer flick “Barbie”? If it is, wink twice.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Soon to be "Academy Award winning", wink wink

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Great to see such a talented star already participating on Lemmy! Even without seeing the movie, I know the Oscar’s as good as yours:) Good luck with the film, and I’ll definitely go see it in theaters with my SO (twice, even).

You should buy tickets for your 4 Pikmins too!

I got a wad of $100s that can sponsor this.

Are you ready to plow through your bucket of delicious popcorn and jumbo sodas?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You should see me feast... It's like a mantis

I'm really curious what happens with this account once the movie has had its run.

Seriously, what were you thinking? It had to be the money, right?

I get it, a gig's a gig!

None. Not going to watch it because it shows a map with China's nine dash line. China has been harassing our fishermen and coast guards here in the Philippines, in our own waters. The government is also planning to ban the movie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I heard about this, but I really can’t find anything resembling that on the disputed frame. Like, it has to be there because a government probably checked it better than me, but where exactly?
