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 Boltzmann brain theory gives the idea that it's more likely for a brain to spawn, complete with memories, in the middle of space than it is for science to have developed (and continue developing) the way it did.
But what if that brain's knowledge of the universe is wrong? What if matter, should it even exist, is not made from atoms and that brain just thinks that?
