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

I can't believe everyone knows such an obscure reference

This is not obscure, it's fucking David Bowie there

The movie starred David Bowie's cock, David Bowie was just a supporting actor.

I'm pretty sure they were being sarcastic. I've definitely heard of the movie. I just haven't seen it (and won't since it's apparently a musical).

(and won’t since it’s apparently a musical).

A musical with music written and performed by David Bowie. With Muppets.

Why would you not watch such a thing?

David Bowie and Muppets don't really mean anything to me, and I can rarely tolerate a musical.

I don't like musicals but this film is amazing, truly one of a kind. Absolutely worth watching!

I honestly never realized it's a musical. I knew there was music but it never felt like a musical to me.

Is that movie not burned into everyone's childhood? David Bowie dancing around. Dance baby, dance. If you are in your 20s, you probably don't know about it.
