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

You would never escape the influence of Earth's gravity, as far as I know.

From what I understand everything in the universe has a slight gravitational effect no matter the distance, it's just that the effect get infinitesimally small, but never reaching zero.

This is the reason why theoretical physicists and engineers rarely have fun together at parties.
