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

The way I think about it is that we're all "snowflakes". No two people are exactly the same. So while one can correctly claim to be unique that also applies to everyone else. It's not like everyone else is the same but you're unique. Also, being unique doesn't automatically mean someone is better than others - one can also be uniquely bad.
I think you've stumbled on it yourself. If every person is unique and special, nobody can be singled out or given preferential treatment. That would be an impossible task to cater to ~6 billion or what ever we are at now, individually
We're up to 8 billion now, it's crazy
I kinda thought so. It is crazy. Incomprehensible
