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 they're unaffected by gravity, chances are they don't have mass. If they don't have mass, they're not constrained by the Higgs field, which in turn means that they can never move at any velocity below light speed.

Their unfortunate fate is to roam across all of space at the maximum possible velocity in perpetuity.

On the other hand, it all happens in an instant to them.

Nah we're by a catholic cemetery. They definitely have mass. I suggest instead they all fall to the Earth's Core since learning to ghost fly probably takes more than 80 minutes, and once you're down in the ghost orgy why leave?

fall to the Earth's Core

we can save them, but I'll need a rat, a giant nuclear drill train, and a family of orcas

I coulda sworn there was a fire breathing big mac box too

Can't you theoretically just move super fast but across a very small distance? They could just "stay" with the Earth, moving with it as needed, maybe eventually they'd learn to do that automatically as well.
