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

Do cartoon characters see each other in the art style or “realistically”? (lemmy.zip)

Just thinking, is the art style only symbolic of the universe or is everything actually like that in-universe?

Photorealistic: yes. However, it could be debatable whether it's gruesome. We see situations that characters survive with short term damage but no long term consequences (example: Homer skating into the canyon). So while it would be gruesome to us, it's probably closer to slapstick to them.

I never thought about its gruesomness this way.

It would be abhorrent for us to see photorealistic cat organs but I guess kids in The Simpsons' universe are raised differently.
