This makes me sad. I just realized that I could be part of it but I spent most time away drinking, partying or playing vidya, and not caring

If you really feel like getting sentimental, check out this Wait But Why, specifically the “Relationships” section. There’s also this awesome Kurzgesagt video which was inspired by it.

Wow.. I feel sad thinking about this now.. we really don't have enough time.. it also makes me angry how we spend most of our waking life working like donkeys and end up sacrificing the most important things we love..

Don't forget about the time wasted on social media or other useless stuff on the internet.

Don’t watch that video if you have to focus on something else in the next hour. That shit fucked me up.

Imagine that first strand of DNA trying to replicate in the young Earth against all the odds. Successfully changing and growing more complex, gradually improving over billions of years. All that toil and struggle will end with you unless you spaff into a fertile hole.

Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans

It’s never too late mate. Maybe you could still do something about it.

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
