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

Yes. We could look at anything outside of the ‘shrinking bubble’ and measure it, and notice that it’s all becoming ‘larger’.

... You realize you are now measuring protons that have traveled through the shrinking zone....

I dont demand shit of you. You're offering this up like your some astrophysicist defending your thesis.

Here I'm you

We uh measure the angles which uh too is complicated for a pleb like you to fully grasp so now I will continue to sit in my own shit because my intellectual superiority knows no bounds.
