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'm pretty sure that it is very unlikely that we will find a "loophole" in the laws of physics.

I'm pretty sure we will! But then it's just new physics.

You can't break constants of the universe. It is a matter of general relativity.

The faster you go the slower time will move and if you hit the speed of light (impossible for other reasons) time will stop completely.

You are welcome to come back and tell me I told you so but I think the laws of physics are pretty safe.

Newtonian physics was universal until general relativity. I think it's a bit premature to declare we have fully unravelled how the universe operates.

It really is 🤣. Especially when I'm playing chess and have less than 30 seconds on the clock
