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 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.

The Three Question Marks is a very famous radio play in Germany. Nowadays the original actors perform live on stage. With such nice additions of the narrator saying "he ruffled his thick curly hair" and the actor gently rubbing the bald actor's head.

Stewie from family guy still sounds like a baby to me.

Vader sounded old in rogue one.

One of the few that probably goes against this is Julie Kavner, voice of Marge Simpsons. You can tell how different she sounds after 35+ years of doing Marge, Patty and Selma. I think it’s one of the reasons Marge seems to have less lines in more recent episodes.

Yeah. The voice stays young if you take care of it and are healthy. You can be 60 and sound like 30.

A while back I noticed that I was recognizing the same voice actor as Fie (from the Trails series of JRPGs) in a lot of other English adaptations of Japanese media -- Morgana from P5, Aoi from Danganronpa, Operator 6O from Nier:Automata, Kyubey from Madoka, Ritsu from K-On, Taiga from Toradora, etc. -- and looked up the voice actor. Cassandra Lee Morris is now 42 and has a kid. Life goes on, and that makes perfect sense, but it did kind of weird me out a bit to realize that someone knows her voice as "Mom".
