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

PBS is the only television worth a damn. Incidentally, it is replete with history, documentaries, non-editorial news, music, and science.

Their YouTube channels are also top notch. Spacetime, Storied, Eons, Terra, Origins, Be Smart... all gold.

Man I love Spacetime and Eons. I have watched almost all of spacetime. I wish there were a spacetime hardcore where they threw as much math at me as possible. Awesome channels

That's why they want to get rid of it

Shout-out the PBS passport. $5 a month and I get all the antiques roadshow I can handle.

So true. PBS has always been a reliable place to find something decent to watch when all else fails I feel. Not to mention no commercials! or very little if any.

It's the tv version of NPR
