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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

What blows my mind even more is that, when dinosaurs existed*, the solar system was on the other side of our galaxy.
(*) Dinos were around for a really long time, so it was largely during the Cretaceous when the solar system was on the opposite side.
blows my mind every time I come across this trivia. thank you for sharing
Interesting thought, but the rings may be older than that, and they may be reoccurring. That's just an estimate based on a range calculated in a recent study.

There's a lot more learning to do.
If they liked it, then they should have put a ring on it.
So the dinosaurs all died of disappointment?
Nah, most of them moved to Saturn after they got married.
I also often calculate things like that in the shower
more of a TIL than a shower thought
doesn’t make me any less cool
Now THAT is a shower thought.
