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

If we got off this rock infinite growth wouldn't be so bad. We'd have space to grow as a species. Until then infinite growth is more harmful than good.
But is space (and its resources) truly infinite?
According to our modern understanding of physics and and given an expanding universe...yes, the universe is truly infinite. There is a limit to how far we can see but not to how far the universe will expand.
