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

But Blue Oyster Cult were practicing faulty logic with

Seasons don't fear the reaper

First of all, how can you know that?

Second of all, even assuming that they don't, how does that imply that

We can be they they are

Returning to

So do the sun, the wind, and the rain

It would indeed be logical for all these things, including seasons, to fear the reaper if they do feel emotions (which there is no way to know one way or another), as they all depend on the sun existing, and the sun will blow up in about 4 billion years, so seasons, the sun, the wind, and the rain will succumb to the reaper like the rest of us.
