Showerthoughts

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:

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.

Stan and Kyle are indeed based on Trey and Matt, as well as their families. That've stated that much. But I don't really see how you came to the second hypothesis. I've never seen any indication of that.

So at least one of them have a dad like Randy?

Sadly, I don't think so. They initally gave the families the names of their family members and in the first two seasons most of Shelly's behaviour is actually based on what Trey's sister did to him.

But during those seasons the parents where mostly thought of as background characters. When they expanded the roles of the parents in the show, they didn't really base their character on their parents anymore. Like Matt's mom never went rouge like in the movie. And when Randy becaome a main character he pretty much only shared Trey's Dad's name, not much more.
