We are engaged in a mutually beneficial, parasitic relationship with nature
(lemmyunchained.net)
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.
So, basically, what you're saying is that sometimes, if you do only a cursory glance, you can see relationships that are parasitic; however, if you do a more in-depth analysis, you find that they're mutually beneficial.
You know what that means? It means that you were completely fucking wrong when you called that relationship "parasitic". It means that doing your due diligence ruled your earlier evidence incorrect. It means that what you thought was "parasitic" is actually mutually beneficial. It means that "parasitic" and "mutually beneficial" are two completely different fucking things.
