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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

During the beginning act of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link ends up losing an arm to what is basically a gangrene caused by Ganondorf's "gloom". Which is to say, a "Ganon-grene". (communities.azkware.net)

I really hope the developers weren't thinking about this pun while developing the plot...

Gangrene in Japanese is "eso".
壊 (e) meaning demolish, destroy, or break.
疽 (so) meaning carbuncle.

Hold up, I just thought of Eso, a character from Jujutsu Kaisen who had an ability to rot his enemies from the inside via his blood. Could it be a pun as well?

That could be a pun for sure. Japanese is rife with puns.
