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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

Colour is an illusion, it’s a bandwidth of visible light within the spectrum. Colour does not exist in nature technically without the eye to perceive it, just another electromagnetic wave
Which is why different animals perceive color in different ways. I'd have to look for it but I think it's tigers that see green in a totally different way than people do.
Some prey animals see orange as green which is why tigers coats are so effective in a green jungle
