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

If I subscribe to the many worlds theory, every time I buy a lottery ticket one of me wins. (self.showerthoughts)

Also, everytime you buy a lottery ticket you also don't.

Likely one of the "other" yous won when you decided not to buy a ticket.

So a version of me must win every single lottery, but I will never win any of them if I don't buy a ticket.

Gotcha.
