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

Does that mean that one of us isn't real?
Like a dream, you are just me. The floor I walk is me. The air I breathe is me. Everyone I meet, everything I feel, is just me. Nothing is real except I.
I followed you (Egg Theory) right up until that last line.
Slash dot? The tech website is the only real thing?
I, me 😆
Damn, was really hoping there was some deeper stuff I was missing. So you're a subscriber to Egg Theory then?
It's called that from that little story about god talking to a recently deceased dude with the end result being that this universe is an egg?
Awesome. I guess I'm an egg theory subscriber.
It’s not called the Egg Theory. Its called Advaita Vedanta and it’s the oldest religion/metaphysics we have written records for.
And it can indeed get pretty deep. You should read Shankara‘s commentaries on the Vedas.
So I'm still just having sex with myself? I should have known it was too good to be true.
We're all only having sex with you
