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.

We've moved from the era of 'The Simpson's did it', to the era of 'South Park did it' (lemmy.world)

And that’s rather unsettling in how bizarre our reality is getting

Edit: I love South Park, way more than the Simpsons. But shit is getting so ridiculous in our world and South Park better represents it

@HootinNHollerin very annoying when transphobes uses south park as an excuse for their transphobia...

You're missing the point behind the initial sour part of the joke

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Im pretty sure there is documented proof of south park converting people to the excat opposite ideology.

Yeah, people have misunderstood south Park from the beginning. They can be 100% who the joke is on but also convinced that Matt and Trey are with them

Always happens with satire, especially the good kind and the ignorant can't see past the surface level.

Queue videos of guys trying to start GamerGate2.0 posting video essays about Sweet Baby Inc with fucking Helldivers 2 as example footage of a game that’s “not woke” 🤭

Nobody tell them, it’s too funny to watch

It's not woke!! Helldivers 1 and 2 is just a fantasy game based loosely on my favorite movie: Starship Troopers. And if you think Starship Troopers is some sort of woke propaganda, then I can't help you. Don't try to ruin a perfectly good game with pandering wokeness just like you all tried to do with Star Trek.

Someday the rest of the eighties babies are going to have to sit down with the 88s and have a talk about giving bad faith actors camouflage.

It's now. Don't put birthdates in your username in the first place, we're millennials dammit we actually learned this in school.

Actually it's in honor of my brother's birthday because he actually was 13 when I started using the account name. (I am a few years younger) I didn't learn about the HH thing until many years later, but I keep it anyway because thinking about my brother makes me happy whenever I notice it.

Including Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
