    I think every character would be different if they were different.

    X-Men is ripe for nightmare fuel if you think about it long enough. Kitty Pryde is constantly one mistake away from becoming a gel banana.

      I remember reading an excerpt from the novelization of X2, the scene where the fake cerebro gets used on all the mutants around the world, and it goes into excruciating detail of what happens to the characters in the compound (being so close to the epicenter):

      Basically Mystique starts changing and shape shifting so much her body starts melting off of her bones.

      It’s sadly more stupid than that. His eyes open a portal to another dimension, although that’s been retconned and apparently now they “metabolize the suns energy”

      you can’t make sense of X-Men in terms of physics. Where does Wolverine’s body regenerates from? meat dimension

        Presumably the same way your body regenerates; his is just faster. And IIRC, he has to eat a lot after sustaining an injury to get what his body needs.

    You just need to make his eyes roll up to kill him.

    You choose how.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
