Showerthoughts

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.

You've changed the comparison from your post. A round earther who googled it, is not a focused and passionate expert. They googled why the Earth is round and accepted it. A focused and passionate expert by nature of being an expert can do all the calculations that actually work and prove the Earth is round (nevermind the fact we've seen it from space at this point). Those focused and passionate experts are exactly the interesting people you want to talk to, because they intimately understand what they're experts on and can go on and on about it in detail.
I was offering a completely different point.
Then consider what I said in regards to your original post, is it not true?
Well I stated that I think the opposite clearly enough.
I appreciate the depth but ya. Wideness
