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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's funny you say that, because I was just watching a video of great apes looking at themselves in a mirror that scientists set up in the jungle. Once they got over the fear and realized they were seeing themselves, one of the things multiple apes did was look at their assholes.

They tried to look at every part of their body. Yes, this includes the asshole.

The video I was watching they were very specifically looking at their assholes. They were putting their leg up on the mirror to get a better view

Probably! Time travel apes.
