Showerthoughts

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.

Pretty sure we are the only animals with pink rings around our mouth. It's flipping weird.

It probably helps with verbal language understanding as humans often use mouth movements to interpret words (see McGurk effect). But I still think it's weird.

Big pink rings.

100%.

Give me a wolf muzzle any day. Having a human face just feels wrong.

Freedom of Form Foundation is working on this (and the rest of the body) :3

I really hope it's scientifically possible somehow!

Even if not, I bet it'd be more feasible to build a robot wolf body, scoop out our brain and put it inside. I'd take robot wolf over *waves paw at human body* any day.

We're all feral (for the non-furries reading this: normal animal shaped) which means the rest of the body is significantly harder than it would be for an anthro, but honestly the stuff they'd need to do to our limbs is probably small potatoes compared to the shit they'd need to do to our skull (and that applies equally well to anthros).
