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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

why the need to grandiosity?
just dust
nothing cosmic about it. And not dust at all, just a human typing on a screen. There's a purity to dust that we shouldn't reclaim. Is the moon full tonight?
Everything heavier than lithium was created either in the heart of a star over it's lifetime, or during its death in a supernova. We really are cosmic dust, or as Carl Segan called it, "Star Stuff".
