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.

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

MODERATORS
I can't buy into the idea of multiverses. Sure there's an infinite possible variants but not an actual infinite number of co-existing possibilities. At what point us it decided that another varient is created? Also try tying that into the theory that there's no actual thing as free will due to predetermined particle interactions.
