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

And how is it even "applied"? I can't come up with an explanation based on my understanding of term, which is to use the knowledge of something to solve real world problems.
Well, existentialism and nihilism kind of apply an existential crisis to reduce your personal suffering. That only works if you believe them though lol
