    A Quiet Place is just one of those movies that withstands zero scrutiny. How do those creatures hear regular noises from miles away, but can’t hear breathing or a heartbeat in the same room? How did no one think to try sonic attacks on the creatures with super sensitive hearing before a girl got hearing aid feedback? How did they build all that stuff to be silent without making noise in the first place? If the waterfall and other noisy areas are safe, why don’t they live there? Why I’m the hell would they have a baby in a world where you can’t make noise?

      Thumpers from Dune but with bombs in them.

      Cluster munitions but with small Bluetooth speakers that can cover a city.

      Unattended rock concerts in football stadiums that are then targeted by sub-launched missiles.

      Suicide bombers with a dead man’s switch that just run in a circle yelling “Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!”

          I’ve never seen that before but the gameplay seems so familiar. Like Duke Nukem.

      “But it’s not practical to live by a waterfall!”

      Ok, but Spotify has whole playlists of waterfall white noise that could be rigged up on speakers.

      As far as the baby goes…assuming you’re a man…you live in a world where you and Emily Blunt are the only two adults around and you may not have a steady stream of birth control. You’re having a baby.

      You just have to have sex very very quietly…

      Also the creatures themselves are moving pretty noisily , so how are they not constantly swarming over each other?

      We only exist today because our ancestors figured out how to have babies in a world where you can’t make noise.

      Humans have natural predators and the ability to stay silent is already a big deal in our evolution.

    I mean I can control how loud it’s gonna be by how I spread my ass cheeks.

    You push them together for more volume/pitch and spread them for silence.

    I’ve had a full 8 second fart come out in pure silence by slightly spreading my cheeks

    It’s called the rectoanal inhibitory reflex (RAIR).

    I wouldn’t be surprised if your hypothesis is correct, like how a blind person who learns to navigate by sound.

    For some reason, I kept seeing the title as I scroll and was thinking of “The Good Place” and wondering why they would need to worry about farts. Because of all the white? Only now did I read it fucking correctly and notice it’s about the horror movie where the monsters are attracted to sound. 🤦‍♂️

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.
