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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I mean just think about it! Doesn't that just make sense?

It doesn't prove anything.

0 = 0 + 0

0 = -123 + 123

What? Wait! So you're saying -69 + 69 = 0 ?

Even better

lim(x to + infinity, 1/(69^x)) = 0

I've been out of calculus for too long to remember integrals.

Oh shit. You're right. My mind has been blown.

Y'know that we made math up, right?

Whether math is invented or discovered is actually still a debated question in mathematics.

Of course, dear.

It might sound neat, but it's certainly not a proof of anything.

OP just solved quantum physics.

A quality shower thought requires a constant water flow to sound convincing in your head. It falls apart the second you turn the water off.

Wanna hear my theory about how the existence of purple aliens proves the existence of blue and red aliens?

Plot Twist: We ARE the aliens that had to escape a failed climate and found this planet called Earth, now we are destroying another planet's climate.

Welcome to one of the big unsolved problems in physics

Well, yeah, except (if I remember correctly) it's the change of energy that adds up to zero. Energy can not be added or destroyed, only transformed. Matter and anti matter particles emerge and disappear in the foam together. AFAIK there is nothing that supports the net sum of energy being zero.

Nobel prize shit.

Since a thing we made up to model the world around us works the way we expect it to. this proves the world around us works the way we extend it.

Nah.
