If understanding was caused by direct observation we wouldnt have local weather-persons who doubt global warming.
Here in Czechia, far-right asshole was elected to the goverment recently and he announced that the climate crisis is over. It started snowing soon after and it's really cold outside right now. Tons of snow also. By direct observation, I conclude that he is our savior and I'm voting for fascists from now on.
What's really annoying is that a lot of fascist voters believe climate change is a thing but are prepared to fuck it up because they hate brown people.
Telling me what you think about what somebody else thinks is basically the opposite of direct observation.
That's very hard with science when you are layman
Yes but have you considered this facebook post my friend shared that contradicts that?
Facts dont care about your feelings, libt*rd

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
