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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I've got some nostalgia for the movie since it's where my name came from but yeah, it's definitely shows the ahhh.... sensitivity of the time.

I'm not sure I follow? His character is Egyptian, he was immortal. Though I take OP's point, he couldn't really be Scottish since he had been alive long before Scotland existed, possibly before the Picts even.

Though I take OP's point
