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

Super hero movies should have more scenes of them accidentally maiming people just because of the sheer amount of power they weild. (lemmy.world)

The "good" Supes also occasionally have to deal with collateral damage they cause

spoilerLike Starlight accidentally blinding a bystander when stopping a robbery, which then comes back to haunt her

That was such a bullshit copout. Like, yeah she blinded someone, which is horrible in its own right, but in the story if Starlight hadn't acted then the woman would have been dead instead of blind. I'd take that trade any day.
