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-----

No one has gone far enough from earth to not be influenced by its gravity. Therefore anyone who has jumped into the air has been off the earth.
Nothing is far enough from Earth to not be influenced by it's gravity, since gravitational interaction has infinite range. Even though it weakens over distance, it never reaches zero
Technically correct but there is a reason why people talk about a body’s sphere of influence.
