If whales are ignorant of conditions on land, they probably think humans are an endangered species.

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-----

Most whales never come close enough to land to see humans who aren't in boats. Divers are pretty rare.
So they might think of humans as boat brains.
Boats have brains, but they're not very well attached. When a boat brain falls out of the boat, usually the brain dies. Fortunately, boats have more than one brain and can survive losing one.
Headcanon 🤣
Tbh that’s pretty much like all of our “common sense” knowledge develops, so that makes sense.
I love this sub for all the conversational subjects when you are stoned.
