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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Just think about the amount of time the average human being could save in one year.

There is a shitload of unnecessary scenes that could be cut without losing anything of value.

My dude, I pirate all my stuff.

I am talking about all the extras that is unnecessary, the intro, outro, unnecessary scenes, scenes that does not relate to the main content,...etc.

Have you tried watching movie recaps on youtube? It's the other extreme but i find it good enough for movies I'll never see. There's lots of movies I've seen there I'm glad I didn't watch for a full hour. Most movies have tons of similar tropes you can easily understand in like a 15 min sentence

Movie recaps does not have scenes, they just include a quick summary.

Yeah, idk. They'll show the important scenes. Just not entirely or anything. lol

I was mostly joking but it's def an option. It works if you just want the jist of the story and don't really care about the acting or basically anything else
