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

What if aliens caused inflation by stealing small amounts of cocoa beans from lakeside resorts?

Is this a shower thought, or a "damn I'm high, why am I naked in the yard while it's raining, while shoving a loofah up my ass" thought?

The latter, but its also raining.

That's when I get my best ideas. And a clean colon.

You need to see the new Wily Wonka movie. (Probably a 7/10 movie, good songs, kind of bad plot but enjoyable)

But yeah, stealing Cocoa beans from Oompa-Loompas is a big plot point. And... Oompa Loompas stealing it back is also a thing.

I'm prepared for the fires but I liked it better than Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Gene wilder is amazing, but that original movie was just fine. The newer one feels more like the book

Was this shower thought brought to us by AI? Alien Intelligence?
