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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

Doctor Evil, but unfunny.

I had him as more of a Lex Luthor.

Larry Ellison feels like more of a Bond Villain.

Mark Zuckerberg could work as some kind of 80s/90s action movie baddie. I know a good analog is out there, but the best I can come up with is the VP from Robocop or the various evil CEOs from Tron.

Elon Musk feels like a Captain Planet villain.

Lex Luthor as a bond villain could work

Older versions of him work. The newer versions tend to be Wizard in a Gundam.

You only had him as Lex Luthor because he's bald
