    Depends on you definition of young! Age reversal research is actually pretty amazing and might be viable in our lifetime.

    In German there is a saying: „So jung kommen wir nicht mehr zusammen“ („We’ll never be this young together again”). You say it when you’re with friends or family and it means something like “Let’s live in the moment and celebrate, because who knows how long we can still do this.”

    Everything you see is just the past because of how slow light is and how slow signals in your body are. We’re living with a constant lag!

      The even more fucked part is that everyone’s lag is different, and there is no universal “now”. Check this out if you want to lay awake for a few nights:

        I can recommend neurological research too. Turns out individuals have different “clock speeds”, influencing their reaction time and even the “frame rate” of their visual perception (Fighter jet pilots!). Time is a funny thing, even without taking spacetime into account.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
