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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Except Dunning-Kruger is invalid. There's a lot of conflicting data on it.
Yup - it's a statistical artifact: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.840180/full
18 citations is not much for a paper, though.
Anyway, besides a statistical approach is proved out of logical reasons, that you can’t know what you don’t know. Beginners in a field never have the overview of the entire play ground. So, they can’t know what they don’t know.
