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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Imagine if we could cure medical problems at the atomic level versus trying to fix them with traditional medicines. (lemmy.world)

Kind of like defragging a hard drive, but instead it realigns all your molecules into a perfect sequence so all disease and defects are instantly eradicated.

Most of our medical problems are at the macro level and multifaceted. Some are encoded at the genetic level and inherited. Genetic therapy is being worked on. It is a fact of Life that our body's mechanisms will wear out and eventually cease to work. The only cells that don't die are...cancer cells.
