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

His speech about humans being the only life that simply expands until all resources are used up is not at all true. Most living things do this until or unless they have some kind of predator or competitor to keep them in check.
But... it's the smell.
I feel saturated...by it.
Well a lion doesn't have a predator (besides us) and doesn't kill for pleasure then waste a whole antelope
Lions tend to be bad enough at hunting that that is their population control lever.
Sure. I said most living things. Not all.
Lions might not, but housecats do. Bears are also known to be very wasteful with the salmon they catch.
