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

Discovery is full of shows all about people looking for things but not discovering them.

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.

Pirate Gold of Adak Island probably worth a watch even though I spoiled the ending

It is frustrating. I still haven't found that damn Grail yet.

One does have to know the airspeed velocity of an unlaiden swallow.

Homestead Rescue is cool. That’s about it.

If you think of Discovery like how Christopher Columbus "discovered" America, it does seem fitting. A bunch of bullshit that later lead to genocide and scorched earth. This seems fitting for what they've done to HBO and all the other IP they've gobbled up and destroyed.
