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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Meditation is all about being alone with your thoughts. The pretense of clearing yourself of thought is inherently wrong and it's moreso clearing yourself of "busy" thought that makes you keep track of time too hard.
That means people who meditate are likely to induce earworms anyways as those are not "busy" thoughts so they're perfect for meditation
Yeah, my (limited) experience of mediation would suggest that they'd still have earworms, but they'd not get so frustrated by it, by being able to avoid spiraling down "guh, I hate that song, where did I hear it? How long has it been stuck in..."
No, you can actually clear your mind of thought.

generally speaking, making statements like “X doesn’t exist” isn’t wise unless you’ve seen everything. Which nobody has.
