I remember when The Learning Channel had learning on it. Now watching it actively depletes your intellect.

Showerthoughts

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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Its all simple minded commercial fodder. Geared to hold the attention of the slow witted emotion driven masses long enough to throw ads down their psychological throats

And there are no Indians in Indiana.
To the tune of Home Again In Indiana:
There are no Indians, in In-diana Most were removed, through treaties And the Del-a-ware, had no care went to Miss-ou-ri, with ease The Shaw-nee screwed, the Mi-am-i With the treaty, of, Fort Wayne William Hen-ry Harr-i-son versus Te-cumseh The In-dian's loss, became, whitey's gain Now there are no Indians in In-diana
Under capitalism, when you have the perfect product the only way to continue to increase profits is to make cheaper and shittier
The Learning Channel changed their name to TLC when they stopped carrying educational content.
Which stands for Totally Lacking Content
There's no entertainment on BET
It's the same here in the UK, multiple BBC channels all disappointing

r/I'm14andThisIsTRUE
Not being 14 doesn't make it not true
I've heard it said, lawyers and police create criminals, doctors create sick people, politicians create corruption.
Don't know how true a sentiment that is, but I can see some true aspects to it.
It's only anecdotal, but it seems to me whenever the cops show up it gets worse.
Deep.
This is now classic stoner chat.
This dude took it for a spin over a decade ago...
So I'm supposed to know about an article that was written a decade ago. It's a joke, relax.
