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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

In the series, corporations get a bailout when things get bad, collude to make it worse with profits over people and then basically buy off world governments in a reverse bail out to take control of the system. With a “Corporate Congress” and all people having a “life debt”.

Oh, and the time travel aspect of it is pretty cool too.

Did they release a second season?

Too bad we don't have time-traveling Unabombers

I'm sure there's someone who could make an argument why Ted Kazinsky (did I spell that correctly?) is a timetraveller.

I dunno if my politics have changed or my recollection of the show is just hazy, but my first reaction reading the synopsis on IMDb is "Wait, Kiera was a cop?" These days I would certainly be rooting for the "terrorists". Maybe it was about her learning the truth? Methinks I need to rewatch.

It's all Patrick Duffy's dream, or that Canadian kid in a coma, or maybe the windfish

Why not both?

It's Tommy Westphall's world. We're just living in it.
