From another point of view, the oceans are just a thin film of water clinging to the surface of this ball of rock.

The depth of the oceans is a rounding error compared to the depth of the planet.

If the Earth were the size of a basketball, it wouldn't even feel wet to the touch because of how thin the oceans would be relatively. Scales are wild

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
