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:

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.

I am unsure whether centaurs have a joined or separate circulatory systems. Worst case - they're separate for horse & human body. But if they're joined, then I think a centaur may survive on 1 heart, as you've said.

Horse hearts are massive compared to human hearts. They would just die.

Or human part will be alive, and not the horse part.

Good lord, how big is that football if the picture on the right is supposed to be the size of a fist??

I assume they don't mean an American football, but still. Seems like on the right is a child's heart.

Imagine a wounded centaur with the horse part dead and the human part just writhing on the ground fully alive. Morbidly hilarious that image is

Yeah... honestly, it depends on how they're built. Because it might work on one of interpretation of the centaur's internal biology, but not on another. Still funny though.

Well, I figured that a platypus doesn’t have a separate system for the duck part and another one for the beaver part.

They also produce both eggs & milk, thus they can be enslaved for infinite supply of omelette.

Just add sugar and wheat to make some cake.
