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

It’s not impossible for someone to have heard about assguard, looked it up, and then realized it’s “Asgard”. (lemmy.ml)

As an Icelander, the pronounciations of the nordic names in Marvel movies crack me up. Especially Bifrost (which they pronounce "bi-frost" instead of 'bif-rost", and Laufey (pronounced very differently, also a decidedly female name).

My vikings professor pronounced it “beef roast” which always made me chuckle

That is actually a lot closer to the Icelandic one, except the F sounds more like a V and -röst rhymes with bust.

The most popular VPN in China is called Astrill, and since vpn's and related discussions are forbidden, we refer to it as Ass Drill in messengers.

I'll assume you were washing your bum when you thought of this. At least your hygiene is good.

That is why the Marvel character Wiccan got his name changed from Asgardian.

I wonder which is a better product: the Assguard or the Anal Bum Cover?

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I see you have anal bum cover, but I think you'll find the penis mightier
