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-----

Why doesn’t Paddington, who is famously from "Darkest Peru," speak with a Spanish speaker’s accent? (lemmy.world)

Or is he from one of those indigenous Peruvian tribes that speaks the King's English?

Edit: A friend of mine pointed out that he's also not a South American spectacled bear.

What the fuck, Michael Bond?

I love the episode where he's selling electric vacuum cleaners door to door and he makes a soot and marmalade mess to hoover up as demonstration. Then the resident angrily informs him he only has gas no electricity!
