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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

Maybe the word I should have used was "cognizance"? Edit: Probably not but the right word isn't coming to me
If ghosts were real and we only saw human ghosts, I would have to assume either ghosts are species specific; meaning you can only see ghosts of beings that were the same animal as you. OR the soul is an evolutionary step and humans are the only species that made it far enough to have ghosts
If I was in a world where ghosts were real I would have to assume other "spiritual" aspects from different cultures are real too. So maybe you can only be a ghost of you're spiritually adept enough 🤷♂️
