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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

There is no history on the History channel. There's nothing true on TruTV. There's no music on music television. There's no science on the science channel. (lemmy.world)

I will never understand that stupid name change...

For branding. Sci-fi is generic and can’t be trademarked. While SyFy can be trademarked

Yeah. I think they were trying to be edgy. Or maybe some guy named Sy Fy did the name change while everyone else was on break.
