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
- 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)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What makes Zeno’s paradox a paradox is that, despite the logical requirement that moving objects must cover an infinite number of sub-intervals in order to do so, we do, in fact, observe objects move.
But we never observe that final bit of dust getting successfully swept up, so in that case the paradox is averted.
