Hi all! Referencing rule 2 "the entire showerthought should be in the title" I think this one warrants removal but I hate to wipe out good faith interaction in the comments, so I'm locking instead. Please consider resubmitting with a more concise/compliant title, or not. Peace.

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Humans have more then 9 holes.
I am here sensei
A quick guess would be there are numerous 'holes' internally, but even if we don't count them and only look to the outside of the body then there's ducts (for tears, nipples etc).
Also the skin has pores for sweating etc, and we are talking millions on the body. Just because they don't gape open then that doesn't mean they can not be counted. I mean, your arsehole doesn't (shouldn't) gape open like nostrils but we count that as a hole. Same as the urethra ending, it shouldn't gape, it really shouldn't...but colloquially jokingly called the dickhole.
And the eye are only really holes once the eyes are taken away. Is a hole really a hole if it's blocked by something that should actually be there? If I scoop my eye out then there's a hole. If I then cover that hole with a snails shell then I've covered the hole. If I get an eye transplant then is there still a hole? Yes, and no...but I can 'see' (pun intended) why others would see it differently.
If eyes, arse and dick are counted as holes then, I think, so should the pores.
Plus piercings, maybe?
There's probably more. Yeah, there are the major holes that most of us think of initially but, technically, there's far more.
