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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

In the lead up to the release of Episode 1, the Sci-Fi channel ran some bumpers of fans waiting in line arguing with each other. One of them said something to the effect of, "Given that this is a prequel, and that we know the universe is expanding, shouldn't the crawler read, 'A slightly less long time ago in a Galaxy slight less far away...'" 25 years later and that still pops into my head sometimes.
That is a good point.
Wouldn't it be slightly further away?
Should be "a slightly longer time ago" though I believe
Slightly further away in the sequel trilogies, but slightly closer because it was a prequel.
Oh shoot, right. I was thinking real life time not story time.
