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.

Yes, human tails are hairless. Here are photos of vestigial tails on humans.
Sometimes our body tries to include traits of our ~~ape~~ primate ancestors. Vestigial tails are not that uncommon. They are typically surgically removed from infants in 1st-world countries.
Years ago, I realized DBZ would be way weirder if their tails were accurately hairless....
Are they harmful? why do we remove them? is it just conformance based or are there actual good reasons?
They are just lumps of fat, not real tails, they are removed for cosmetic reasons
A light snack
I'd imagine comfort reasons also. Hell having a dick can get uncomfortable at times. Like every time I wear pants that are just to tight for a long bike trip it gets twisted around and bent into kinks. I can't imagine having what is comfort wise a second dick on the other side of my groin and pointing down. I can see that pinching itself every time you run or sit down. I really hope there aren't any nerves in them.
