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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

As you move faster, in your vehicle, than the world around you, you age slower. This increases life spans.

But one's life happens in a context. If the world around you changes faster, then you spend less time in that context before it changes. Going out of the common reference frame means your life is cut short.
