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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Very curious that you thought about the fact that early humans had never seen their own assholes, as opposed to their faces.
reflection in water
....you mean the exact situation mention in the OP?
It would be common to see still water and your own reflection
Less common that someone would position themselves in such a way they can see their asshole clearly in it without disturbing the surface.
What do I know? Maybe they made little foot jetties just so they could stand above the water and gaze wistfully in into their own rectums on still days?

You know, there was this one carpenter who could walk on water…
i did not read that bestie ☺️💞💞
I'm sure you could also see your butthole in water reflections, too. Also just being flexible.
