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

Well, it's in their mouth, duh.

Well I guess when there's a species of giant people eating gum-chewers we really should have expected a decline in its popularity

Wait - if the ones who chew gum are also the ones who eat people, shouldn't we see MORE gum chewers, since they'd be a proportionally larger part of the population the more they eat?

No you have it all wrong, there are people who eat people who chew gum

Exactly. [The] people-who-eat-people chew gum.

I think you have a couple typos though, autocorrect can be really frustrating, right?

So, actually what's happened is people have stopped blowing bubbles.
