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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

People are social barfers. If you make it too realistic, you end up with your audience gagging.
There is a scene in a movies I saw reacently that was so graphic and realistic that I had to stop watching! Don't remember the movie name but it was brutal
That's a really good point I never considered. If it's played for laughs, you want people laughing. If it's not, you want people grossed out, but not so much they need to mop up in theaters.
