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.

If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997... which was 28 years ago this year.

Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.

Punching Basils mother for looking like a man did make me think "Yeah, doubt they would do that one now."

I don't think that joke is very problematic. She's not trans, he's a spy. It's more a joke about older women than anything

It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but didn't he do that earlier in the movie to an actual man in disguise as a woman? I thought the whole point of the joke was to subvert expectations with a failed repeat of a previous gag, not so much to ridicule the target.

I just don't really see anywhere in here a joke about transfolk, just about an old woman being ugly. I think the real joke is Austin is a bit insane I think this is soon after he's thawed right?
