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

Ah, but is there Sy in Syfy?

No. No there isn’t.

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

I remember when The Learning Channel had learning on it. Now watching it actively depletes your intellect.

And Beyond 2000 stopped airing in 1999

Its all simple minded commercial fodder. Geared to hold the attention of the slow witted emotion driven masses long enough to throw ads down their psychological throats

There's little to no British content on BBC America.

And there are no Indians in Indiana.

To the tune of Home Again In Indiana:

There are no Indians, in In-diana Most were removed, through treaties And the Del-a-ware, had no care went to Miss-ou-ri, with ease The Shaw-nee screwed, the Mi-am-i With the treaty, of, Fort Wayne William Hen-ry Harr-i-son versus Te-cumseh The In-dian's loss, became, whitey's gain Now there are no Indians in In-diana

The Learning Channel changed their name to TLC when they stopped carrying educational content.

Under capitalism, when you have the perfect product the only way to continue to increase profits is to make cheaper and shittier

I've heard it said, lawyers and police create criminals, doctors create sick people, politicians create corruption.

Don't know how true a sentiment that is, but I can see some true aspects to it.

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It's only anecdotal, but it seems to me whenever the cops show up it gets worse.

[–] adam_y@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Deep.

This is now classic stoner chat.

This dude took it for a spin over a decade ago...

No music on MTV

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So I'm supposed to know about an article that was written a decade ago. It's a joke, relax.
