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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I followed you (Egg Theory) right up until that last line.
Slash dot? The tech website is the only real thing?

Damn, was really hoping there was some deeper stuff I was missing. So you're a subscriber to Egg Theory then?

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.

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.
