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.

I think I conflated red dress girl with goodbye girl, as Porrada clarified.

It doesn't rashly matter; all of the roles had to be casted. I wonder what that experience is like for the children. Life is Beautiful, for instance, or Saving Private Ryan (remember the French couple in the bombed out town?). How do you direct a child to emote trauma?

Depends on the director. Can't remember who it was, but I remember reading about one where to get the children's fearful reactions, they just actually scared the living shit out of them.

Well, that's one way!

That can't be legal anymore, right?
