    Whether or not you’re “really” a real person, or a brain in a jar, or a butterfly dreaming you’re Zhuangzi, you and me and everyone else are still “people” we should respect.

    Wrestling with the unfalsifiable nature of reality is something all thought traditions have dealt with, and I’d argue that you’re not really an adult in 2025 if you haven’t contemplated that all you know could be a hallucination.

    The screwier question always becomes “if this is a dream , what if you’re not the dreamer?”

      I just watched Distant Lands last night so Prismo was my immediate first thought.

          He’s just mentally broken (and was always a bit frail, but his experience with Hollywood finally destroyed him) and hates the Ashkenazi lawyers that messed with his money, from what I understand, so he said some stupid and obviously morally wrong things because he is and always has been childish as well (“a 38 8-year-old with rich n* problems”). He’s not out there actually promoting/having a hand the death of a whole innocent community like Bibi, lol.

            Dude literally made a song called “Heil Hitler,” not to mention his “HH88” shirt he sold on his site.

            The guy’s a fucking Nazi, stop apologizing for him.

              Oh, I wasn’t up to date with all of that, my bad. He’s been off his rocker for a second, but this is a more financially motivated move which makes it all planned and really yucky and immoral. I miss the old Kanye. 😒

      But… then I’d be compelled to concern myself with those who are getting bombed into the dirt for being born on the wrong side of a DMZ…

    Even worse what if this is all cold reality and when we die that’s it and one day the universe stops and none of this mattered at all except for the capitalism?

        The capitalism bit was a joke.

        I’m glad you find comfort in the erasure time passing offers.

    We are all God’s dream. At least, that’s what I believe.

      Dream because of the necessary “lower plane of existence”, less ‘solid’ than God, but I’d specify it’s a lucid dream (also due to my beliefs, as it is impossible to have any ‘hard evidence’ about this subject, hehe).

    Please wake up. I’m rather tired of existing on the bubble-film of your consciousness.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
