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. 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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----
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
