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 and the TOS

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.

Sort of similar to the Great Filter theory, but applied to time travel technology.

If the Multiverse is a thing, then that timeline has happened somewhere and our future selves visited us. Ahahaha. That would be trippy.

In this Multiverse though, it looks like we become the Borg, so they would have already collected all the info they needed and thus have no need to go back in time.

also because it is genuinely impossible to move faster than light as matter, let alone survive it

All those random scraps of metal you find lying are just the end result of someone trying to travel back in time and the time machine not surviving

The vulkan science proved time travel impossible

Incorrect. The child support liability on multiple timelines could no longer be insured.
