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

Maybe the concept of nothing does not exist. Maybe the fabric of Spacetime is always there. (lemmy.world)

Historically, "nothing" is the label we apply when none of the things we are currently able to detect are present.

After we can detect what actually is there, we update our description to the much more accurate term "practically nothing".
