They haven't made too many family-friendly cartoons about an abusive husband in a toxic relationship since they stopped making The Flintstones.

    Seth MacFarlane respectfully disagrees.

    But as always, Simpsons did it first.

      Homer is an abusive father, is he really an abusive husband though?

        Emotionally maybe?

      I wouldn’t call either of those family-friendly. The Simpsons more so though.

        Flintstones was mostly for adults. It was prime time. Hell, they advertised cigarettes!

          Kinda crazy to think that the mascots behind a wildly popular children’s vitamin tablet also sold cigarettes.

            They cancel each other out!

        I’m not sure about now, but very much in the 90s. I wasn’t allowed to watch them growing up.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.
