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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- 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 🤣
