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.

Not wrong.
Also, I was alot older than when I first watched the series.....that the entire Data vs Lore monkier went right over my head....
.....Even when
ST:TNG S1E13is litterly titled"Datalore".Took season 3 of Picard for me to get it finally. 🤔🤯
I don't get it, what's the special meaning?
Data is just information, while lore is storytelling. It's why Data's character is more clinical in behavior while his brother Lore is more chaotic and "human"
Oh, right - good call!
Nice, never caught that
For those of us who don't watch the Nu Trek stuff, could you elaborate?

ST:P S308"Surrender".Data/B4/Lore were all partitioned in the same positronic brain that was in a "new" Data body.
And Lore and Data had an internal fight over the body.
Also you really should give Strange New Worlds a try at least.
IMO S1/2 of Picard is retconned dumpster fire for the most part. 3 was a bit redeemed/its own story Arc.
Thanks for the reply.
That seems unusual, that one positronic brain can handle all three of those at once, but it sounds like a potentially interesting episode.
I feel bad for B4, sounds like he'd be way out classed by the other two.
I might if it ever comes to a service that I have a sub to where I can see it.
But fundamentally, I'm kind of a 'substance over style' type of person, and all the new Nu Trek stuff seems like all style and all amateurish storytelling retcon, no world building/lore substance.
I kind of feel like that if the writers can't respect the lore and the world building in the Star Trek shows that came before them, and only doing them lip service later on when they're desperate and pandering for viewership, then they're not respectful of me or my viewing time, and hence not worth my effort to 'engage' (pardon the pun).
But I will keep an eye out for Strange New Worlds, and if I see an episode on cable/streaming service, I'll check it out. I've seen some shorts on YouTube, and it peaked my interest a little bit.

I like Picard and Discovery because they do better at this. At least they have a story arc over a season, and both seem to fit with canon well enough for me. The first season of Discovery is the best Star Trek ever
Strange New World is also good, but it took a lot longer for me to get into because it is more “story of the week”, similar to older series. Plus the previews/ads did not appeal to me at all. Eventually I did get over it and enjoyed the show for what it is
You consider TNG to be Nu Trek? I typically consider TOS, TNG, and DS9 to be the OGs.
They are referring to Star Trek: Picard as 'nu trek', not TNG
Ah, I got mixed up because the original point was about TNG. I guess I somehow missed that he said Picard, meaning the show. My bad. Picard is definitely Nu Trek.
