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

We always imagine that if humans had tails they'd be furry tails but they'd actually probably be hairless like our bodies (self.showerthoughts)

Perhaps millennia of sexual selection would have resulted in Hairy tails.

Millennia of sexual selection already resulted in no tail...

Why do you feel the need to step on my dreams of having a GF with a furry tail

You'd need more time than that

If we assume that the tails already exist and it's only question of giving them hair, then not necessarily.
