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

I've never come across anyone who believed in heliocentrism, ever. Is that a thing?

Some public schools and so-called 'experts' try to tell us the earth and other planets orbit around the sun. But anyone can see with the naked eye that the planets don't change brightness, even though their distance from the earth would vary vastly under this crazy heliocentric model! Fake science!
