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

Finally a real shower thought. And a good one at that. The similarities end with the perception of things though.

Knowledge stands on various assumptions and authorities. When they break knowledge breaks.

For example, consider errors of perspective. That's a toughie.

Too high for me. But knowledge can be based on empirical data as well so I don't think it's that fragile. Would be quite the reach imo
