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.

Video games are one of the few places where failure motivates us to get back up. It's a temporary setback that allows you to keep going, teaching us resilience and the power of a second chance. (lemmy.world)

Life doesn't work that way. You have only one life.

Does t mean you can’t try again in the one life!

Correct. Failure in reality doesn't generally imply death. Unless, of course, you're a bank robber. In most other cases it implies learned knowledge that helps your succeed in your current objective. Failing during a job interview, for example, helps you get better at job interviews.

Yeah, but then the comparison with video games fails; that was my point 😄
