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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

Interesting. He had a resurgence of popularity in the โ€˜10s. Watched some of his new content and remember being surprised by this egotistical, dysregulated old grump on screen, who was in a lot of ways the opposite of the man I watched on PBS as a kid. I kept it to myself but it seems every time I bump into him online it just solidifies that impression. Hope he gets the help he needs to get better.
