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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

well, to be fair, we can see the same amount of stuff in every direction without an edge. and at the rate of expansion, we could never reach the 'edge' we can currently see. so we kinda are at the centre of the universe
I think the problematic part of ~~heliocentrism~~ geocentrism is more "the sun is rotating around the earth" rather than "we are at the center of universe"
heliocentrism is not about the sun rotating around the earth. The heliocentric model puts the sun at the center, and everything rotating around it.
Oh yes, Im dumb sorry I meant geocentrism but just used the word written above x)
