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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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 hated the ending of GoT almost as much as I hated the ending of Mass Effect 3.

I still am not over that trainwreck.

At least with Mass Effect, most of the third act was solid. Plus, there's always the Indoctrination Theory to help cope (even if it wasn't intended).

GoT is utterly unsalvageable.

Yeah, but I was so invested in ME. It was such a deep game with so many storylines...all ultimately pointless.

I see your point, though. Right up until the very end, I had a great time. Somehow, though, it feels worse for that abrupt lurch into stupidity.

[–] Vladkar 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I hear you. Prior to 3, I genuinely expected Mass Effect to evolve into the Star Trek of my generation, complete with spin-off shows, movies, books, etc.

That ending sure took the wind out of those sails.
