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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Manifesting is just like praying. In both you strongly wish something to happen (self.showerthoughts)

And the odds of that happening doesn't change whether you chose to 'pray' for it or 'manifest' it.

I mean, placebo is still a placebo. My point was that a placebo doesn't automatically mean 0% effective. I'm not using it as a negative term here. But I do get your point, I think.
