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

A friendly thought for you:
If your beliefs can change your body (which is part of the universe), and your changed body can further change the universe...
then transitively... your beliefs can change the universe, right?
And if that is true, then perhaps belief can be more than a placebo... Maybe it is a real, effective, psychological muscle.
if you act on them
I mean, placebo is still a placebo. My point was that a placebo doesn't automatically mean 0% effective. I'm not using it as a negative term here. But I do get your point, I think.
