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.

They say in an infinite multiverse versions of you exist. Yet there's an infinity of fractional numbers between 1 and 2 with no whole number 3 between, so infinity can exist without every possibility. (lemmy.world)

This doesn't make sense. OP just provided an example of "infinite universes" that even tho they are infinite, they do not contain all possibilities. Because we can't see all universes at the same time, we cannot know if they have any constraints at all. For instance, all universes might only have me being born in some odd day for some weird reason for all we know.

OP assumes that the multiverse has constraints. The person you replied to is saying that OP is wrong because we don't know whether the multiverse has constraints, so OP is wrong.
