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

Notice I never said the value IS infinity. I said it “goes to infinity” which is the mathematically correct way to describe what’s going on when considering the limit, at least on the positive side. Of course, because on the negative side of zero, the function goes to negative infinity, it makes the most sense to describe it as undefined, still. 😉
