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

You are right, I'll delete my comment. I didn't realize that homeopathy meant those crazy people that use ridiculous dilutions. I heard that it's improbable that even 1 molecule of 'active' ingredient is left over after they dilute and dilute.
That whole industry is a wacky rabbit hole you could spend a lifetime exploring and still not reach the end of it. It's a bit of a hot-button issue for me due to the harm it causes when seriously ill people decide to forego actual medicine and waste money on a sugar pill instead. That's something they won't get back while tumors grow, cancer spreads or other long-term damage is done. Supplementary, Complementary and Alternative Medicine practitioners collect a paycheck giving false hope to people who might not have the time and money to spare.
