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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I mean just think about it! Doesn't that just make sense?

It doesn't prove anything.

0 = 0 + 0

0 = -123 + 123

What? Wait! So you're saying -69 + 69 = 0 ?

Even better

lim(x to + infinity, 1/(69^x)) = 0

I've been out of calculus for too long to remember integrals.

Oh shit. You're right. My mind has been blown.

Y'know that we made math up, right?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Whether math is invented or discovered is actually still a debated question in mathematics.

It might sound neat, but it's certainly not a proof of anything.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Of course, dear.

/jk lol wasn't really serious with this post anyways

A quality shower thought requires a constant water flow to sound convincing in your head. It falls apart the second you turn the water off.

Wanna hear my theory about how the existence of purple aliens proves the existence of blue and red aliens?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

Plot Twist: We ARE the aliens that had to escape a failed climate and found this planet called Earth, now we are destroying another planet's climate.

Welcome to one of the big unsolved problems in physics

Nobel prize shit.

Well, yeah, except (if I remember correctly) it's the change of energy that adds up to zero. Energy can not be added or destroyed, only transformed. Matter and anti matter particles emerge and disappear in the foam together. AFAIK there is nothing that supports the net sum of energy being zero.

Since a thing we made up to model the world around us works the way we expect it to. this proves the world around us works the way we extend it.

Nah.
