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

In what sense? Aside from whether it's practical to really desire nothing, if you could wouldn't you be free by definition because you could do and have absolutely everything you wanted, that being nothing?
Nobody wants nothing, that’s conceptually silly
At the very least and no matter how humble your threshold is, everyone wants food, shelter and some kind of company.
The first 2 cannot be attained for free in our world's ergo, you cannot be free from whatever obligations you may incurr to procure them
This is all nice theoretical advice.... Not to be used literally in practice
