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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

The state of the glass is determined by its beginning state. If it was full and is now missing half, then it's half empty. If it was empty and now it's half full, then it's half full. This can be a metaphor for life as well.
But the other half is now filled with air, so it's still full of something.
That's always my thought on the subject, the glass is completely full it's just filled with different things
But which part of life contains life? The years you've got left to live or the years you've filled with life?
