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

I've met people who were certain that bugs weren't animals
Hell I've met people that don't think humans are animals
Interestingly people who don't understand they are animals are the least human
I've met a lot more people who think people aren't animals than people who think bugs aren't.
I'd like to see your statistical records.
Left them in my other pants, unfortunately.
like everything else in this thread, doesn't it depend on the context? like I'm willing to bet that if you polled a ton of people to "draw an animal" the overwhelming majority would draw vertebrates
That doesn't mean that the animals they don't draw aren't animals
