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-----

Buddy of mine and I were chatting on Discord and we ended up having a conversation about this topic.

Namely imagine you just put two people in a room. One from New Jersey and one from LA and observe

Wild how different cultures can be even inside a country.

What do y’all think? Is it due to the size of the US (geographically)?

I saw a thing with Hugh Laurie not too long ago and he said something like, "America is too big to even know itself. Someone in Georgia has no idea about the day to day life of someone in Oregon."

I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

Im obsessed with that idea 💡

Can you imagine if humanity was indeed planted by alien drones and cultivated to evolve via early adoption of morals via religion? There would be thousands of other humanities on different planets

Idk information theory overall is neat. All these patterns we love to fall into haha
