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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

A drama like right now about Russians trying to influence world politics? And US elections? I'm not sure if it would be brilliant and we'd be all over it or if we're so sick of hearing about it that we wouldn't watch it

I was thinking Chris Hansen style reverse cat fishing.

Edit: "UwU I'm 35 y/o incel. Won't someone come to my chat room and propagandize me UwU."

No pun intended, catfishing had had a hook. You had someone that had wrapped up their lives and or a serious amount of money into someone there was an emotional angle. Most of the trolls don't really have any belief in what they're saying and it most their drawing people out to fight with them. Definitely a shower thought.

A drama with the Russians would probably only last a week, maybe a month?. Add in China, Iran, and most importantly the US, and you would've got few season to watch.

Too bad, but the rest of the world would love to see it.

How about a Silicon Valley-like comedy except at a Russian troll farm.

Not right now, but a couple of years ago.
