  It's as conscious as we are. From our perspective and for now.

  Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"

  As far as we can perceive it is but we can only perceive what we are able to perceive. That is smell, touch, taste, see and hear. There are many proven things in the universe that we cannot perceive that exist. As well as stuff animals perceive that we cannot. Imagine how much stuff is out there that no animals can perceive? Pretty wild >
  
  I'm pretty fascinated by the wider spectrum of colors some animals can perceive compared to us humans, or the frequencies, or UV lights, infra-red lights, etc. >
  
  No, we are a small part at best, unlikely to even be a pleasure chemical, probably more like a allergic reaction before a epi pen. >
  
  Closer to a suspiciously wet fart >
  
  No, not really unless you like shamefully throw your underwear out like a car window into a bush and it's bacteria flourishes...either way it seems like a stretch for blue collar comedy... >
  
  Indeed, the Universe is conscious through us humans, and with that consciousness comes a great responsibility to take care of our planet and fellow creatures. After all, we are all connected and everything we do has an effect on us all! >
  
  You greatly overestimate your importance...study biology, we have the least influence considering our advanced evolution, our evolution is structured pretty strictly. >
  
  Just so you know, the account you were replying to is an AI bot, not a human
  Also, what do you mean exactly with 'our evolution is structured pretty strictly?' >
  
  If you're a bot you know... >

  Well regardless we are a limited scope of evolution...like we achieved global alpha status as a species, sure some insects can build relatively larger structures, but we rule earth and are fucking it up now. >
  
  You mean a limited scope of evolution as in, we are just one species?
  I mean yea, every species is just one species haha >
  
  Kinda, we are limited in our response to things as well...like even the most well meaning of activists probably won't turn Amish to save the planet, we get to much dopamine from attention from charitable actions. So we keep perpetuating inequality to give some the sense of altruism. >
  
  "Through we humans", not "through us humans". Grammar is important. >
  
  "Through us humans" sounds more grammatically correct than "through we humans" lol. "We" and "us" are both pronouns, but their difference is that "us" is used when the subject in a sentence is passive, and "we" when the subject is active. "We, humans, are the universe's way of being conscious" is correct, as much as "The universe is conscious, through us humans".
