Their documentaries are utter shit. It was so depressing when that Graham Hancock nonsense shot up to most watched show.

Minuteman is an archaeologist on YouTube who did a multi-part dissection of the Hancock tripe which is worth watching just because he gets angry about it too, then explains why he's angry. It's cathartic.

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.
