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.

While this is a good narrative to make about Disney if we want to hate on them, it's not true though.

The Disney movies for kids is almost all about not maintaining status quo and actually challenge it. Or being different than anyone else

Frozen and Moana are recent examples. Pirates of Caribbean for an older audience. There's many more.

Disney kids movies aren't about super heroes usually. But even Lion King is how you can't escape adult responsibilities and have to continue the cycle.

You forgot the peasants cheering the birth of their new predator

What I see from farmers and the current usa president in my feed, that part was actually damn close to the truth.

That's true, every movie takes on something different.

But then again there's Pocahontas that came out at the same time that tackles racism and the importance of nature.
