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.

I hope this doesn't sound negative, it is a thought that I had and just felt good about it. I'm nothing. I'm cosmic dust but I enjoyed my life. (lemmy.world)

why the need to grandiosity?

just dust

nothing cosmic about it. And not dust at all, just a human typing on a screen. There's a purity to dust that we shouldn't reclaim. Is the moon full tonight?

Everything heavier than lithium was created either in the heart of a star over it's lifetime, or during its death in a supernova. We really are cosmic dust, or as Carl Segan called it, "Star Stuff".

Tonight the moon is gorgeously gibbous!

Nope, but tomorrow there's a lunar eclipse!
