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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Is the sentence hard to understand?

its just hard to understand how something so stupid can be said

The Wiki page defines ETHICS as

Ethics is the philosophical study of moral phenomena. Also called moral philosophy, it investigates normative questions about what people ought to do or which behavior is morally right.

What you are doing is anthropomorphizing science. Science is a method system for understanding nature.

And without ethics in science, we get nightmare bastardization of science.

It's especially funny when you read OP's profile bio:

Nowadays everybody wants to talk like they got something to say but nothing comes out when they move their lips just a bunch of gibberish.

That doesn't mean his post is false though.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

It absolutely proves his post false.

Without ethics in Science we have a detailed understanding of our anatomy, the ability to transplant organs, numerous life saving medications, space travel, understanding of the human mind, etc.

Fact of the matter is when "ethics" are imposed on Scientific study, Scientific study is hindered, so Scientific study cannot be ethical if it is to be successful.

Bring back vivisection! (you volunteering?)

You don't seem to know what ethical means.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I know what ethical means. Do you know what asinine means?

Glad my post found some common ground with your existence.

I think you need to understand the history of science before you debate this argument, you are basically mixing metaphors

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I understand the history of Science which is why I made my OP.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't believe you. And I am done with this debate. You have shown a very good lack of understanding in this brief encounter.

Here is some reading materials for you OP

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11060189/

You only need to read the summery to see why your showerthought is wrong

https://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/bioethics/whatis

This has a very comprehensive list of why ethical frameworks are ESSENTIAL to the scientific process

I don't care what you believe because you have demonstrated 0 good faith since start.

You can go away now.
