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

Mindlessly petting a cat is like mindlessly washing a knife. (sh.itjust.works)

This was my best showerthought I left on reddit. I didn't want to leave it into the oblivion.

Yeah but most knives aren't actively plotting your demise.

With cats, it seems more of a chaotic/reactive, but same results.

My second irrational fear is cats are quite literate and can read all this.

Note: if your knife begins plotting the demise of you or any other person, the best course of action is to assume your rightful place as an avatar of destruction.

Congrats! Your knife is now an SCP. Please find a class d personnel and have them interact with your knife. If it kills them, please elevate a mobile task force delta, such as MTF Delta-5 to properly contain your knife
