What if this was just a high scoring post from yesterday you've slightly reworded?
What if you have no concept of “throwing shade?”
Traveling at the fastest speeds possible it would take 2,537,000,000 years to get from here to the andromeda galaxy if StarWars was live streamed from the Milky Way Galaxy we still wouldn’t see it for approximately 2,537,000,000 years, since we have seen it, it must have taken place around the same time as in the late Pliocene epoch, the only people around to watch it would be our pre human ancestors Woolly mammoth’s and sabertooth tigers.
BUT WAIT! I hear you say Han Solo could travel faster than light, That’s right he could go 0.5 past the speed of light In other words it would take Han 1.69 Million years, changing nothing accept maybe a bit more ice.
But wait you say desperately Han wasn’t using normal measurements thanks to retconning, This is true in later (Technically non canon now) supplementary work the speed ships travel was deliberately obfuscated and changed to the point of magic but let’s do the math anyway, from 1930 to 2024 is 94 years in order to travel 2,537,000,000 light years you would have to travel 27 million times the speed of light, now let’s talk about how that kind of speed would shatter canon so badly that it can’t be accurate. Actually let’s not because it’s currently 3am and I’m tired but needless to say it breaks everything.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
