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:

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
  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.

Get rid of videos and we probably still could.

Wikipedia is ridiculously small

That's just the intermediate value theorem.

If we define the size of the Internet as a continuous function, and it started at zero and currently doesn't fit in your phone then yeah, no shit, at some point it fit in your phone.

If it's truly continuous there was an exact point where it would exactly fill up your phone with no room left over.

No it wouldn't since it wasn't made at thr time.

English not your first language? No worries, see the "would have"? That phrase signifies a hypothetical - I'll leave you to ponder what hypothetical situation could be meant in this particular case, but spoiler: it involves comparing features of things that were constructed in different time frames.

Why don't you go figure out what a shower thought is before berating this guy.

I'm not berating, I'm helping clear up some confusion about the conditionals.

No it doesn't
