I know all my dogs friends names but less than half of their owners names and now it is too late to ask.

You mean like me? :3

But fr, here all cats and dogs have chips with all of the owners data, readable by doctors, animal shelters etc. Also useful for only allowing them to go through cat/dog flaps.

And for normal people, just call everyone "You" lol

Here in Sweden too but my biological chip reading abilities are somewhat lacking.

"Eehh, du?" in Swedish. I've done it, I've been it.

Mine have my dogs names on the front and my contact info on the back. I think it’s pretty common.

Or are you talking just the human name on the back? That would be confusing.

Dog (and other big dangerous animals) owners in cities should be wearing tags with their basic ID data too. Maybe even those blinking lamps like firefighters or police. Don't know how they're called in English.

You mean, dog-tags?

Showerthoughts

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.
