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

There is no history on the History channel. There's nothing true on TruTV. There's no music on music television. There's no science on the science channel. (lemmy.world)

Ah, but is there Sy in Syfy?

No. No there isn’t.

I will never understand that stupid name change...

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

For branding. Sci-fi is generic and can’t be trademarked. While SyFy can be trademarked

Yeah. I think they were trying to be edgy. Or maybe some guy named Sy Fy did the name change while everyone else was on break.

I’m sorry but I just call that the syphilis channel because that’s what pops into my head when I read syfy.
