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

You would never escape the influence of Earth's gravity, as far as I know.
From what I understand everything in the universe has a slight gravitational effect no matter the distance, it's just that the effect get infinitesimally small, but never reaching zero.
This is the reason why theoretical physicists and engineers rarely have fun together at parties.
I knew as soon as I typed this that someone would bring this up. 😵💫
