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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

When we sleep, we are technically half-dead. So, wouldn't it be safe to say that everyone currently living has died many times?

Petite mort, translated from French, means “little death”, and is generally used as a euphemism for orgasm.

Some of us have died... a lot.

Someone has just died multiple times.

But like, tiny. For some of us multiple tiny deaths in rapid succession.
