If your iris is secreting milk, or a milk like liquid, you should probably go to the doctor.

Showerthoughts

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.

My irises have leaked as much milk as my nipples so that checks out.
What if my nipples are absorbing light?
Most nipples do absorb some light
Except that way fewer people enjoy having them licked.
Well, that enough internet this morning. Thanks for inspiring me to get my day started.
It's an ancient 4chan staple from waaay back when it was actually worth going there.

it's called oculolinctus and it leads to funky stuff.

Fair. I meant it relatively.
Wasn't there a scene in Aeon Flux similar to this?
There's the "alien" that wants to swap eyes with Aeon but she's not into it, and Trevor later does.
Edit: Season 3 Episode 10, "End Sinister"
It took me awhile, but what I was thinking of was from season 2 episode 1, "gravity" and really isn't related here except for the tongue 🫣 I guess it has been too long... Thanks for dragging me into some memories ❤️
There's the fly scene in the opener
Is that... John K Peta?
Many moons ago, I've read a translation of a Japanese short story, which stipulated that a pastime among Japanese youth is having one person repeatedly lick an eyeball of another, whereupon the recipient begins experiencing special effects, iirc described as seeing diamonds in the sky.
As an aficionado of various psychologically surreal shit, I'd be glad to find this story again, but the chances are slim. It might've been written by Kobo Abe, as I discovered his work at about the same time and space, but I have doubts about that.
I see you haven't met lizard people yet.
More like areola. The nipple is missing.
My bad. I meant the cornea
The nipple is the aperture of the breast
So in that sense the pupil is thr nipple of the eye, because that is the aperture. Perfect logic.
I’ve got irises. Can you milk me, Greg?
There we go. We're back on track.
Hard disagree, the nipple would be the cornea.
Your absolutely right!
sigh Please get off Lemmy, grandpa.
An eyereola?
Hold that thought and go see an ophthalmologist before you act on it.
Not saying that is free. You're allowed to just not say it, any time you want
No
