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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Monkeys given infinite time would probably get carpal tunnel or form a labor union before typing out Shakespeare. (lemmy.world)

That's incorrect. The universe is infinite. But without FTL travel we can't access anything but the observable which is finite.

In heat death even black holes will evaporate. There is no anything ultimately in heat death. Just particles flying every way getting farther apart.

Also there's not even a theoretical way to survive a big crunch, big bang cycle.
