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-----

The fact that we aren’t aware of every process in our body means our brains aren’t fully connected with our bodies. (lemmy.sdf.org)

You know how you don't see your nose all day every day? You should see it. It's there.

Your brain ignores your nose because, you don't need that information. It wants to focus on what's happening around you, and the nose "disappears".

You're brain is connected to everything, it just doesn't CARE about everything all the time.
