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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 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).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
If ghosts are real... then every living thing, cockroach, dogs, fish, fleas, birds, they get ghosts too, billions upon billions of ghosts flooding, saturating the universe.
Unless ghosts come from sentience
All the things they listed are sentient.
Maybe you mean they come from sapience?
There's a point where you have to question whether sentience is present vs the ability to react to the world... Mostly in flies (which have some of the lowest neuron count of any animal) they just fly towards smell and light etc. - they don't get angry or upset or noticibly happy and that's not too far beyond a light switch reacting to you pressing it.
