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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You just need one to go skydiving more than once.

If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

This isn't a shower thought, it's just a repost of an ancient meme

It's not the falling that kills you, it's the sudden stop

There have been a couple people that survived falling without a working parachute. Crazy rare, though.

You only need one if you plan to skydive twice.

As long as you can figure out that first step you're fine!

You could also use a wingsuit, or a whole lot of helium balloons.
