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

That's the cool thing about language , if enough people do something for long enough then it starts being right

Out of everything you were ever taught, it's the only thing that works by Tinkerbell rules. If enough people believes something is real. It's real.

Otherwise we'd all still be talking like William Shakespeare

I mean, money works like that too. It's not like we value money because paper is rare, we just all collectively agreed to use it to make exchanges easier

Well you're not wrong, but we used to have the gold standard, and that worked because of the rarity of gold.

Also most "paper money" isn't actually paper, but cotton/plastic
