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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I dunno about this analogy. I think the doctor proved that with enough time, anything can become a door.
By the time you knock a hole in the wall with your own body, you're gonna be a bloody pulp.
They're referring to Doctor Who, a fictional "time lord" who used many theoretical lifetimes to bash a hole in an impenetrable wall, dying many times over (not a big issue for him), if I recall correctly.
That must have been the old Doctor Who, because I don't remember seeing an episode like that.
But that's a very Doctor Who style plot line lol
In fact it was "Heaven Sent" Peter Capaldi. Series 9, episode 11. 28 November 2015.
Ah, that would explain it. I checked out once Capaldi joined.
He really grew on me over time.
I'm rewatching it again, this time with my girlfriend because she hasn't seen it yet. We're currently 3/4 of the way through Matt Smith's doctor.
So maybe this time he will grow on me.
Excellent. Enjoy.
