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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Whenever you try to get an answer to something like "What movie was the Be Like Water line from" and you can NOT find anything other than a bunch of articles with tons of paragraphs wasting your time - that's the SEO spam tactics. Those articles chose words that made themselves easier to be indexed by Google, but don't actually want to answer that question.

And yes. I literally looked this up this week.

I still don't fucking know if it came from Enter the Dragon or some other short series. I just gave up. Google has enshitified news articles on the internet and has to seriously consider retraining their algorithm to negatively impact shit like that.

"Be like water" is from a Bruce Lee interview https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cJMwBwFj5nQ not a movie.
