Most whales never come close enough to land to see humans who aren't in boats. Divers are pretty rare.

So they might think of humans as boat brains.

Boats have brains, but they're not very well attached. When a boat brain falls out of the boat, usually the brain dies. Fortunately, boats have more than one brain and can survive losing one.

Tbh that’s pretty much like all of our “common sense” knowledge develops, so that makes sense.

Why? It's not like there are suddenly no humans at sea. Small fishing vessels may have gone down in number but in the meantime leisure vessels and the sheer number of humans have gone up (it's massive). Humans are ⅓ of all land mammal biomass. Whale scientists are probably more puzzled by the lack of species diversity among land mammals that visit the sea.

Showerthoughts

33948 readers

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.
