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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Finally, a banger shower thought. But now I've got an existencial crisis lol.
It's okay. We're only running out of time. ALL of us — ALWAYS — hurtling through space at ~30km/s around a fireball that's burned for billions of years, on a spaceship that materialized out of the remanence of exploding fireballs, which materialized out of nothingness.
Believe it or not. A banger shower thought was an inevitability.
We're basically the universe waking up to itself after 13 billion years of a chaos bender and going "What the fuck!?! I'm on a fucking rock? In the middle of fucking nowhere? ... I can't believe I've done this to myself!
