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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Correct. Lore was too human in some ways, but he lacked empathy.

You can't have empathy if you don't have emotions.

Lore had anger, hatred, jealousy, etc... plenty of emotions.

Didn't he only get those later after he stole the emotion chip from Data?

He stole it to get access to more emotions and to try and fix his defective ones iirc

Ah okay. It has been a few years since I last watched it.
