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 no for actual space? We actually are going, like right now.
So humans are fluke and aliens not fluke? If the great filter happened for us then maybe it filters out beings that are not like us. I mean unless you know an alien Any argument anyone can make is just limited by imagination.
We have not left earth's orbit in 50 years.
Voyager, the probes that have been travelling for 50 years are still less than 0.001% (1/10,000th) the distance to the nearest star.
Both are/will be but the chance of evolution taking the same path on two different biospheres is pretty much zero.
Yeah but that's not because we can't. Maybe "it's aliens"
Well I can't say you are right or wrong. No one can. Anything I say is purely hypothetical but winning the lotto is pretty much zero and people win.
