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.

- 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).

MODERATORS
We don't really know anything about life in the universe. As for life in our galaxy, its entirely plausible that we are early.
Nonsense about being the most advanced
We're actually quite early into the age of the universe.its possible that every civilization is at similar technology levels currently.
So what you are saying is Great Filters exist and we are doomed no matter what we do?
