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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

But Thomas the Tank engine was introduced like 50 years before Lighting Mc Queen.

And neither Cars nor Cars 2 spend a lot of time on edutainment surrounding their setting. The only thing the two have in common is they're vehicles.

Oh no, yeah, you guessed it, I didn't watch beyond 2. I mean, neither sid anyone else after that torture.

After Cars 2 I had very low expectations of Cars 3, unsurprisingly. It's a miracle that I was convinced to watch it. Yet somehow I was, and found it to be bloody good.

And it's been consistently popular the entire time.
