On a scale from 2 bags of doritos to holding onto the grass in the front yard so you don't fall off the planet, how high are you right now?

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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

The feeling of "ahh nothing makes sense but I'm glad there is at least one person like me in the world, even if they're a bot. In any case, I assume sentience and hope they liked it"?
Random silly imprints on humanity are my grass that I'm holding on to.
For a moment, there were two strands. Who knows what the future holds.
Hopefully more of the same moments!
One time when we were tripping on acid, one guy found a blade a grass that he claimed was changing colors. A bunch of the other guys gathered around and they were all laying there in a circle on their stomachs looking at it, trying to figure out if it was actually changing colors or if they were just tripping.
They were being ridiculous so I was just laying there staring at the clouds laughing while listening to them debating it.
The best part was that after about 10 minutes, they concluded that it must actually be changing colors.
I love it. I haven’t done that yet, waiting for retirement when I don’t need to use my brain anymore. Just in case. 😁
