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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I remember hearing that Elephants are the only land animal that cannot jump.
Could be a fake Snapple fact, so feel free to investigate further!
Not the only land animal, but it's true they can't jump: 100% super reliable source.
Mainly linking that site because this line kills me:
Only land mammal, perhaps?
At least some species of mole and pretty much all species of sloths are physiologically incapable of jumping, so I don't think restricting it to land mammals would make a difference in this context.
Ah, good point.
I don't think snakes can either
That's what a lot of people think until they are 3 feet away from one and suddenly find it attached to their leg!
