If octopuses had to wear clothes, they'd probably just wear skirts or kilts instead of pants.

    If that’s the reason why are you doing it in summer?

    If you say protection from sun, how about warm cloudy day?

        wait - read your comment properly, but you can still get sunburned on a cloudy day.

      Well, thousands of years ago my ancestors came into this place for some fucking reason, and noticed that being naked and hairless means you’re cold at almost all times, save for a few exceptionally warm days in the summer, and in summer, you’d get sunburn or skin cancer, and be covered in ticks and mosquito stings.

      They decided to fix their furlessness by wearing the furs they got from the animals they ate, and later discovered spinning, weaving, and sewing. As time went on, being naked became a taboo, and thus people kept wearing clothes even in occasions that don’t require it.

      And clothes do tend to have meaning beyond just protecting you from the cold and the sun and bugs. Style and social status.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
