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

if you take into account how the earth is moving all the time then the water isn’t actually going anywhere, its all just stationary while the earth moves every object around the water as necessary.

This energy: You have to relax

I couldn't decide; maybe Forehead oilstar, or My hands are knives. But probably mostly "Relax."

The more i think about it, even though it's technically incorrect, i know what you mean lol. Yet it only works on the northern hemisphere, on southern hemisphere the water goes up the drain.

I can’t believe you’d agree with OP that itsy bitsy water goes up the spider spout.

Why isn't the water moving with the earth?
