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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Why? It's not like there are suddenly no humans at sea. Small fishing vessels may have gone down in number but in the meantime leisure vessels and the sheer number of humans have gone up (it's massive). Humans are โ…“ of all land mammal biomass. Whale scientists are probably more puzzled by the lack of species diversity among land mammals that visit the sea.
