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.

Plot twist: it's the episode where the kids try to kill Kenny by cement shoes but the river is too shallow.

We gonna ride tonight! My lil’ homie, Kenny, died tonight!

Remember that episode where Kenny finally dies "for good" and subsequently disappears for an entire season?

they tried to replace him with butters.

in The majority of South park episodes, he doesn't die.

wish they kept that running joke

Yea, not anymore considering they dropped the gag at the end of S5 and they are now beginning their 27th.

Ugh, I hated the shoehorning of Butters into the group dynamics during Kenny's absence. Rubbed a lot of fans wrong to the point the backlash forced writers to change the ending of that season and bring Kenny back.

I too wish they would have kept the joke going. Or at least occasionally make reference to it now and then.
