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

Watching TV shows or movies that display Russia as a military superpower is almost surreal nowadays. (lemmy.world)

Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.

as recently as 2005

You do realize that's almost 20 years ago. That's like saying "well you realize in 1985..." Back in 2005.

(The 2000s have been a blur for me time wise too)

I did specifically say "it was 18 years ago after all"

If I'm not mistaken, that was a Gotland Class. Built in the early 90s, so over 30 years old.

France has at least one diesel submarine that's decades more modern.
