Showerthoughts

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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

In my opinion, John wick lashed out because of grief from the passing of his wife not the death of his dog or theft of his car. She died unexpectedly and without reason. There was nothing he could do and no one to blame, left only with his grief and sense of loss. Until suddenly there wasn't. With the death of the dog, his wife's last gift to him, there was someone to blame and something he could do. He could get justice. John didn't kill to get revenge, he murdered those people because of the overwhelming grief he was sinking in and unable to properly deal with. The people he killed were unrelated to the reason he was killing. In that way John is the same as the cocky kid who killed a dog because he felt hurt.
that's a good analysis. honestly i didn't give it much thought
