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

Not really. Homeopathy is diluting the offending substance with water until it is essentially gone while believing that the recently departed molecules had automagically imparted medicinal properties to the surrounding water molecules. It is quackery up there with ayylmaos and bigfoot enthusiasts.
While you are right about the dilutions. The specific ingredients used are picked based off of the idea "like cures like". So to cure a headache they would use an ingredient that causes headaches etc. Total quakery
