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

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 can't buy into the idea of multiverses. Sure there's an infinite possible variants but not an actual infinite number of co-existing possibilities. At what point us it decided that another varient is created? Also try tying that into the theory that there's no actual thing as free will due to predetermined particle interactions.

You can't buy the idea of it because you don't understand the theories around it?

That's an odd stance.

Would it not be better to respect and explore the idea instead of trying to dismis is through ignorance?

Why do you think that I'm being willfully ignorant and not trying to learn? (Maybe using the phrase 'cant buy' is too informal/misleading). Can we not learn through discussion of our beleifs/understandings/theories etc? I have stated why I don't think there are infinite coexisting universes, discuss or not as you please.

Also, disrespectful? What on earth are you talking about? How have I been disrespectful to anyone?
