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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I was rewatching footage from 9/11 the other day. And I saw one guy jump... It made me really sad. I thought, you know, if you'd only waited another 10minutes you'd have gone to heaven!
Screw that I'm jumping every time. If the choice is sit passively and wait to be burned and crushed to death or to go out with some agency and experience weightlessness before a very quick and hopefully painless death. Yeah, screw your bizzaro death cult moral justifications.
Technically that's not what weightlessness is, but I suppose experiencing freefall is good enough too.
