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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's a combination of both. Studios typically will mix the end result for the highest-end sound setups, which most people don't actually have. If you're lucky enough to have a full surround with the ability to properly dial in equalizer and other settings, you probably won't have a problem hearing the dialogue even when it's mumbled. But on conventional tv speakers, it can easily get lost in the mix.
