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

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

Water doesnt go down a drain, the drain actually goes up the water (lemmy.world)

if you take into account how the earth is moving all the time then the water isn’t actually going anywhere, its all just stationary while the earth moves every object around the water as necessary.

This energy: You have to relax

I couldn't decide; maybe Forehead oilstar, or My hands are knives. But probably mostly "Relax."

What?!?

IDK have you never thought before?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I do think every second im conscious but such a though never crossed my mind in my entire life. That's because i know how gravity works.

but do you know how ShowerThoughts work

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but shower thoughs are usually not something that is unbelievably stupid and so wrong that even a first grader or kindergarden child would not think such a thing.

Like, how did you even begin to think that? This didn't start in the shower, there was something wrong before the shower.

No offense but, have you seen two different water streams going in two different directions? Do you know earth is a globe?

let me level with you since you’re not getting it—yes, the posts in this community are generally unbelievably stupid. that is why I posted this. because this community is full of incomprehensibly stupid posts all hours of the day and I figured I’d do a bit of good old fashion shitposting.

i appreciate it bro, found it funny

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Is it really a shitpost or did you actually think that, i couldn't make such a thing up even for a shitpost 🤨

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 weeks ago

Guess you’re just not that creative.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Are you high? 😂

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Another innocent shitpost slaughtered. Lemmy is serious business.

Why isn't the water moving with the earth?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

This post have this energy:

The more i think about it, even though it's technically incorrect, i know what you mean lol. Yet it only works on the northern hemisphere, on southern hemisphere the water goes up the drain.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

?? understood you till then end, you know north isnt actually the top?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ohh sorry, i messed up what direction earth is moving in.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

I can’t believe you’d agree with OP that itsy bitsy water goes up the spider spout.
