I've always just assumed our particular corner of space is considered the "Florida" of the universe
Showerthoughts
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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
This right here, am alien can confirm
I've heard the theory that aliens avoid earth because they think we consume oxygen by choice which is poisonous to life so that we can generate biological fire. Seems improbable but it's fun to think we are excluded for appearing insane.
bro, you can't call them aliens anymore
Non-earthicans
Then they look at Australia and are like what is going on with this planet?
Let's make a hyperlane highway through this part of space.
And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground!
I wonder if it will be friends with me?
Ever think about being a plant? You could live in a pot.
Oh no, not again
I wonder if the aliens don't come here because we're just like a bunch of weird hillbillies in the woods with shotguns.
Yes
