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.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics 3.1) If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

So it was Van Halen and you're right, it was an easy way to be sure that venues actually read their contract which contained instructions to safely assemble their stage rig. But there was a parody of that story in Wayne's World 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_7kg5ZzDZo

Oh I see, hah. It did sound like you were simply misremembering and it's been quite a while since I saw the movie so that went right over my head.
