Showerthoughts

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Current attempt? That series ended two seasons ago. The current doctor is Ncuti Gatwa, and we even had a brief spell of David Tennant again in between.

My phrasing was bad. Both the gender-swapped and the current "dancing in the crosswalk" Doctor Who attempts were dogshit. Fern Brady would actually fit the emotional timbre of the classic Doctors while also happening to be modern and female, was my point.

Nothing, as far as I can tell.

I have only the vaguest of vague impressions, but my vague impression is that he's been quite a good actor in other things, but then with Doctor Who they kept giving him terrible scripts.
