There's no foxes on Fox News either.
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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
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
Don't forget Animal Planet, which hosts shows about tree houses and mermaids now.
that one pisses me off the most, not to mention that pitbulls and parolees or whatever the fuck its supposed to be. I swear its on every day.
I was 100% watching MTV the other day and they legitimately played some music
Thought I was hallucinating
Are you sure you weren't smoking something
All those examples (except MTV) is David Zaslav hard at work. So glad he's in charge of WB now!
So... No brothers I guess?
History channel has Forged in Fire where, for about 30 seconds per episode, they give a quick lesson about the historic weapon the contestants will make.
But yeah, TV is bullshit. Fuck commercials.
I always appreciated that in shows like Pawn Stars and American Pickers, yeah the main point is entertainment, but they actually made an effort to explain the objects and history around them.
Kinda wish they didn't need to fake the premise of the show so hard to do the history lesson though.
Really we just need more antiques roadshow.
Discovery is full of shows all about people looking for things but not discovering them.
Homestead Rescue is cool. That’s about it.
Last time I watched anything like that, probably on netflix, they where looking for pirate gold and actually found it ... buried in a military munitions burial area they couldn't reasonably or legally excavate.
It is frustrating. I still haven't found that damn Grail yet.
No truth on truth social
Funny, but true
The USA FREEDOM Act violates US citizens freedoms and civil liberties.
The "democratic" republic of NK has never been democratic.
Fox News had the motto "Fair and Balanced" for like 20 years, despite being a conservative state propaganda machine.
Turns out you can just lie without consequences!
Don't even get me started about the Body Shop.
No bodies I suppose. The old bait and switch.
I just wanted a couple of them for my own reasons and now I have a lifetime ban from the place.

Cable is dying and they will do whatever it takes to keep it afloat until the last second
I can't remember the last time I had a cable subscription. It's been a while.
The last time I had cable was the year of 9/11. And that was only because I plugged in a stray cable on a whim and found that my upstairs apartment tapped into the the cable from the downstairs apartment.
Honestly, with internet, I never saw the point. And internet only cost $10-25/mo back then. Ofc, by about 2012 or so they became wise to that being the trend and started jacking the internet bill rates. And now internet costs the same as cable used to cost, or more, depending.
But I don’t think anyone ever did a GenX is Killing Cable TV headline.
