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

I hope this doesn't sound negative, it is a thought that I had and just felt good about it. I'm nothing. I'm cosmic dust but I enjoyed my life. (lemmy.world)

why the need to grandiosity?

just dust

nothing cosmic about it. And not dust at all, just a human typing on a screen. There's a purity to dust that we shouldn't reclaim. Is the moon full tonight?

Everything heavier than lithium was created either in the heart of a star over it's lifetime, or during its death in a supernova. We really are cosmic dust, or as Carl Segan called it, "Star Stuff".

Tonight the moon is gorgeously gibbous!

Nope, but tomorrow there's a lunar eclipse!
