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

I have a slightly different theory. Basically they haven't arrived because they look at their navigator, sees that our planet is named dirt and just assume the developers forgot to delete a test value.

That's nonsense, because they're obviously looking for Erde.

Now that's a fucking shower thought! Random crazy shit you wouldn't think the rest of the day because you're too busy to let the mind wander.

What else are they going to use? Venusian? Spanish? Let's not be silly

If they haven’t visited us how will they know what the planet is called and how to spell it?

Hey how do we know the name of planets like Kepler 22.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That’s our name for it. If there is a planet or planets circling Kepler 22 they won’t call it Kepler 22.

Similarly any aliens won’t call Earth by that name. For example, Klingons might have called Earth yoSpu'bogh QongDaq until they made contact.

So aliens wouldn’t type Earth into sat nav but whatever they call it. Now that’s a showerthought !

Since the universe changes, you would need at least 4 dimensions to locate earth.

I think you might be hitting something else besides the shower

I like my shower to be wobbly

Watch out what you type when you want to come back! Who knows how the showers look like in Triangulum Galaxy
