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.

When you pay the game you realize how few women and non-white characters there were.

When I played it, I felt like they kinda bent over backwards for representation. An Indian spells teacher, an African fortune telling teacher, a Japanese broom coach, etc... Plus not to mention all the classmates that are straight up from other countries, and that mention other countries in their conversations.

There's also the married interracial lesbian witch couple, the trans witch who runs the Three Broomsticks and the letter you can find that implies she and Garlick were a thing back when they were younger.

A lot of the NPCs felt like specific middle fingers right to JK imo
