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:

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.

Nah. Water is created and destroyed all the time. Here go the formula for photosynthesis:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Take some baking soda for heart burn. You will instantly know you've created water and gas. (But hey, it works.)

NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2

Anyone here burning glucose and breathing?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

JFC, here's Google's AI take, depsite the evidence above:

Water on Earth is constantly being transformed through a natural cycle, but it is not created or destroyed. This transformation, known as the Hydrological Cycle, involves processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. While Earth has a vast amount of water, its total quantity has recently dropped, according to NASA.
