    This is why you never see cool cats eating hotdogs. If they did, they’d annihilate.

      You may need to reread the title.

    Cats and dogs have more in common than you think.

    For example, did you know that both cats and dogs have four legs? Yeah… There’s even more similarities, I hear…

      Ah, but what about their temperate varieties?

        Cats and dogs have a wide range of coats and body fat variance to help them adjust to whatever temperature they usually live in. For example both husky dogs and himalayan cats are suited for cold weather.

    Hotdogging is also a form of freestyle skiing where crashes are allowed if the recovery looks cool

    It is…

    “Hotdogging” is showing off and trying to attract attention.

    It may have replaced “frankfurter” because the people selling them in stands were “hotdogging” as part of their sales pitch.

    So, instead of buying a “frankfurter” from a “hot dogger” people just started buying “hot dogs”.

    Not sure if that’s how it happened, but it tracks with how language evolves normally.

      So you’re saying this is Frank’s fault?

    A hotdog would be the opposite of a cold cat. Or were you thinking of a warmdog?

    It’s like a double negative: a cool dog is the opposite of a hot dog, but a cool cat is the opposite of a cool dog, so you end up back where you started.

      But I’ve never loaded a cool cat up with relish and saurkraut.

      I guess I have new weekend plans.

    Wait, you are disturbingly right about this.

    How could we have overlooked this!?

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

  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.
