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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily 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. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • 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.

The marriage to Drogo was an arranged marriage, to help Viserys get the crown.

There's a difference between who traditionally were her enemies and Ramsay's enemies... And it's medieval times. Again, she really only had it out for oppressors. She went through many areas w/o slaughtering everyone.

The whole mad queen, which might be foreshadowed in the books, was not in the show. The Mad King, the thing everyone pointed too, was caused by Bran. The "Mad King" was just fine. Just like Hodor was just fine until Bran came along. But because he never is like "oh hey guys, yeah, turns out the mad king saying "burn them all" was actually my fault" so the myth/legend around it always going to happen due to "reason", at least in the show, falls apart. From my understanding, the books do foreshadow more of Daenerys's madness and its possible edits from D&D end up casting her in a very different light. Which just echo's how shit D&D were/are.

Alright, you're just wanting to be stubborn. You literally didn't say when and where, just vaguely "the show". I was sincere of you knew when and where I'd watch it again, but you couldn't cite anything specific.
