      Actually, it’s a Futurama plot. The one where the Professor says “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.”

    New studies show there’s likely 1 lifeforms capable of vast communication per galaxy if that. :\ but dunno how accepted that is just saw it posted here.

    I choose to believe in dinoverse. Riding asteroids to new planets all lo tech.

      Why are people downvoting you? There was a time scientists thought going 35mph in a car would make your brain explode. The point is, science can say anything, and until its proven wrong, it could be right. 100 years ago scientists told everyone that an atom was the smallest thing possible, and then they split that open and were like “HOLY SHIT, WHAT ARE ALL THESE THINGS???”

      The point is, believe what you want with science. Until you’re proven wrong, you might be right.

      Maybe there WERE two shooters in the JFK shooting. But BOTH shooters were Lee Harvey Oswald!!! Whoa!!! You didn’t consider time travel, did you???

      Could be.

    Finding a Pandavaris on a distant planet would be less of a cause for concern.

    There’s over a million viable alternatives to DNA as carriers of genetic data, so the odds are actually extremely low that something we could classify as saurian in convergent traits

    And that’s before you get into even more exotic theorizes forms of life like gas clouds in the interstellar void that appear to form helical patterns when current runs through them, silicon based life in extremophile environments, and possible micro-time lifeforms that can only exist in the interior of different kinds of neutron stars.

    Also, the lifeform which got the closest to converging on the great ape body plan, which thus far is the most efficient to be observed for complex use of tools, is actually pre-mezozoic, a Permian proto-mammal labelled Suminia, it even had opposable thumbs, although it is theorized to have primarily moved on all fours, so the thumbs were probably for branch clinging instead of hammer swinging.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
