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-----

The rat in Ratatouille will probably die within two years from the end of the movie (feddit.it)

Rats don't live long, the first result on Google says that they live 2-4 years on average and the longest living rat in captivity lived to be 7 years old.

I like to think that after the rat's death everyone will treasure the good memories and start another restaurant of their own. But it's more likely that they'll be depressed and miserable for the rest of their lives without being able to tell anyone their story.

Nah, they'd have got him a lady rat.

Not all of them would be smart enough, but rat generations are crazy fast. Breed the smart ones with the other smart ones and you could be franchised nation wide in a couple decades.

Just a bunch of inbred genius rats yanking on some minimum wage teenagers head.

Hell, you could probably charge the human because an average person would learn how to cook pretty fast. It would be the best culinary school in the world.

I want to see this version as a saga like the Planet of the Apes.
