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

After I spent a ton of time around cows, I see them as giant hooved dogs now. They act a lot like dogs. Big ol' 4-stomached goofballs.

You're not wrong, but dogs would mooove aside and chase my car, not block it. The number of times I've had a rancher say "just put it in drive and hold the break a little." Or "they'll eventually move around you."

I'm glad its not just my cows who find it funny to stand in front of my truck.

Also similar to dogs, our ancestors were terrified of their ancestors.

Pigs act a lot like dogs too. My mom has one who rolls into his back to get belly scratches and lolls his tongue out of his mouth.
