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

Are you trying to say the people who spout generic bullshit about humans wrapped into arbitrary boxes are somehow related to actual physics where people do falsifiable experiments?

Because astrology didn't predict shit.

Astrology was just a way for astronomers to earn a living in the age when people didn't care about space. So there is overlap in that the same people would often practice both

You've got me interested - citation needed (and appreciated), though.
