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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Ah, but is there Sy in Syfy?
No. No there isn’t.
I will never understand that stupid name change...
For branding. Sci-fi is generic and can’t be trademarked. While SyFy can be trademarked
Yeah. I think they were trying to be edgy. Or maybe some guy named Sy Fy did the name change while everyone else was on break.
I’m sorry but I just call that the syphilis channel because that’s what pops into my head when I read syfy.
