Discovery used to be science, nature, and well-researched documentaries. Then it turned into the TV version of click-bait.

Netflix seems to be taking the torch from Discovery with some of their "Netflix Series Documentaries".

Some of them are glorified Youtube videos. I don't know why many people bother watching them or why Netflix stretches out 10 minute long stories to 4 hour long docuseries.

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.
