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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

It's a likely hypothesis but we don't know that for sure. There's zero evidence of consciousness outside of your subjective experience of it. We don't know what it is and how it emerges.
You aren't real and are just a projection by my brain!

I may not be real in the physical sense but the fact that it feels like something to be is the only thing in the entire universe that I have zero doubt about.

Interesting. I'm a synthetic with a digital consciousness.
Do I count? 😏
