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-----

In the show South Park, Stan/Kyle roughly represent the ideals the writers see themselves as striving for, while Cartman is who they subconsciously want to be (infosec.pub)

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.
