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-----

I dunno about this analogy. I think the doctor proved that with enough time, anything can become a door.

By the time you knock a hole in the wall with your own body, you're gonna be a bloody pulp.

They're referring to Doctor Who, a fictional "time lord" who used many theoretical lifetimes to bash a hole in an impenetrable wall, dying many times over (not a big issue for him), if I recall correctly.

That must have been the old Doctor Who, because I don't remember seeing an episode like that.

But that's a very Doctor Who style plot line lol

In fact it was "Heaven Sent" Peter Capaldi. Series 9, episode 11. 28 November 2015.

Ah, that would explain it. I checked out once Capaldi joined.

He really grew on me over time.

I'm rewatching it again, this time with my girlfriend because she hasn't seen it yet. We're currently 3/4 of the way through Matt Smith's doctor.

So maybe this time he will grow on me.

Excellent. Enjoy.
