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-----

Your eyes are a part of your brain.
So the only part of your brain that does receive light, is located outside of this dark room. Inside the dark room, there is nothing that senses light or darkness.
nope
Doesn't seem to match with my understanding. Got any references for that?
I think I worded it badly and mixed up things with the visual system and the central nervous system.
So I guess you could say that I was technically wrong and OP was technically right...
Damn! Still our brains don't register any darkness, except through the optic nerve... and screw you guys! I'm going home! ;)
