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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

There are behaviors we stopped doing because of speciation. For each of those behaviors, there is a day in history in which one of our ancestors did it for the very last time. (lemmy.ml)

Yes :) this is what I mean. And we can go further back in time, beyond proto-humans. Our ancestry includes mammals, reptiles... all the way to single cells.
