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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This is a lot of philosophy. Pointless in the day to day. But the arguments and ideas eventually lead somewhere.

I do think the discussions of free will are important because it's a major area that people take for granted. When you ask "what does free will really mean?" you can't just come back from that.
