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

Staged, full of fake talk, and fake smiles to cameras?

Have you considered being a politician?

Or Instagram model?

That, but where it isn't fake (≠ the real world)

If it's the ads I am thinking of, you want middle class conservative retirement communities.
Unless you are a non white, then good luck.

Plot twist, you become the epitome of "has this ever happened to YOU???" while showing people failing to do every day tasks like opening a jar, or chopping an onion. Somehow sets the house on fire instead.

Have you tried buying their products? That should work, right?

I think that's the idea.

My family did the giant ridiculous breakfast once a month or so and it was incredible. We'd all help cook, and we'd expand the dining room table, and then just eat until we passed out in a food coma. Bacon, sausage, endless pancakes and waffles, biscuits and gravy, giant vat of scrambled eggs, toast and butter and jam mmmm

Speak for yourself, I just had two omelettes, three bowls of cereal, a pack of bacon, a dozen pancakes and two gallons of orange juice for breakfast.

That's a great way to check if you're a character in a movie or not. Clearly you are not.

Ah yes, but don't forget to take Capsulin Forte with 450 mg of capsaicin for strong teeth and shiny hair. Now in big package with double the pills and triple the relief.
