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:

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.

It's me. I watch a lot of movies and see arthouse stuff the public doesn't care about and if something is a big enough train wreck occasionally I'll see what's going on (shout out to CATS). Though I have Regal Unlimited so I don't "pay" for a ticket

Having a theater subscription has definitely made going to movies far more enjoyable tbh and one of the only subscription type services I have anymore. It's way easier for me to just pick a random afternoon, drag a friend along and take more chances on a movie when, as you said, I'm not "paying" for that ticket.

Exactly. Especially considering it's rare that there's a month where there are fewer than 2 movies I actively want to see in theaters. So I'm already saving money with it, all those other movies are just bonuses

Plus you get surprised. I thought Clown in a Cornfield was going to suck and I would have never seen Life of Chuck normally but I ended up really enjoying both of them
