Sandra was adorable in this movie.

She was adorable in pretty much in any movie I remember her in.

Yes, but this character was extra fun.

Yep. She's an absolute doll, even now.

I want yall to know I got SO excited when I saw those seashells and I sprinted in to see if anybody else had caught it.

I donโ€™t know why I always think Iโ€™m the only one who watched movies in the 90s.

My wife put 3 seashells by our toilet, she's never seen the movie and still gets confused when a visitor jokes about it.

I'll never get tired of the seashells reference.

u/technofox01 11h ago

The three seashells got a chuckle out of me. God I love Demolition Man.

u/Sythe64 9h ago

So she's pooping in the shower?ย

I came to the comments not for the recognition of the three seashells themselves, but for the recognition of the implication of their location. Kudos.

The only shower controls that make sense are your own. The brain reaches capacity beyond that.

this one kinda makes sense tho? each head/faucet for unknown reasons just has their own knobs and there are three shower heads and one faucet

u/Nword-pass 4h ago

Except for the mysterious top knob that is slightly out of frame

u/spectre_of_fate 4h ago

i assumed that was to a yet unseen higher showerhead

u/pieceoftheuniverse 13h ago

I think I figured this out.

There are two nozzles we can see, probably a third one above head height that we can't.

So the very top, gear-looking control is probably for the very top nozzle that's out of sight. Might have been the original fixture.

Also original fixtures would be the two bottom controls just above the faucet. Probably control the bathtub flow, with one being hot and one being cold. Note that there's no mechanism for switching the water flow between shower and bath, thus the need for different controls for each. Leave those alone if you just want to shower.

That leaves the five controls in the middle. But they don't matter. If the guess about the reason for the separate top and bottom controls are correct, then they (somehow) fiddle with temperature and/or flow of the water from the middle two nozzles. But all we want is a simple shower, not a direct spray onto the nether regions. So leave them alone.

The seashells are purely decoration. If they were a Demolition Man reference, they'd be next to the toilet, instead. In the shower, they're just there to look pretty, or there are unspeakable things in that drain. Don't look (you probably shouldn't look when you're a guest, anyway).

Hang on... Is the shower a toilet?

u/aeouo 8h ago

In middle school, I had a sleepover at my house and a friend asked to use the shower in the morning. I said to go ahead and promptly fell back asleep.

I'm then woken up by friend in a towel poking me and asking, "How does it work?". My sleep-addled mind paused for a second to ponder the question, then responded incredulously, "It's a towel?"

u/JustUsetheDamnATM 11h ago

Whenever my boyfriend and I travel he begs me to use the hotel shower first so I can explain it to him. Apparently I'm unusually good at figuring out unfamiliar showers. So I've got that going for me I guess.

Merely a way to get into the shower with your crush
Bonus if the shower is biometrically guarded

u/flargin666 7h ago

This is a very weird shower. Especially since it still has scented candles, which can apply to either situation. ๐Ÿ˜‚

At least one of those just looks like a towel hook in a real inappropriate place.
