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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

I actually had an idea for a TV show about two roomates, one of them with an AI girlfriend and one of them with a tulpa girlfriend. Probably one of my worst TV show ideas tbh

What's a tulpa girlfriend? Sounds like a sex toy.

please tell me it develops into each of them pretending to be each other's girlfriends sometimes

Lmao I could definitely see them doing that in a mocking sort of way

"Beep boop h0w was y0ur day @ w0rk h0ney?"

"How was your day at work? Oh wait I already know because I share your body and the senses that come with it" or something

That makes me want to hear about the bad ones

Oftentimes I find myself thinking about a romantic comedy about a tomboy and a femboy, though a lot of the humor would probably be rooted in LGBTQ+ stereotypes. Aside from that, I don't have perfect recollection of my bad TV show ideas, they're mostly just fleeting thoughts

Okay yeah it needs work, but a sitcom is only as good as its writer's room anyway
