    That’s the best part. It’s actually the same name either way. They just pronounce “dipshit” different than we do is all.

    I read a series of HFY stories that showed the human and a some dogs (all abductees) getting telecommunication brain chips, and they absolutely did. They called humans “name-givers” and took pride in their many names and nicknames as bestowed by their particular name-give friends and family.

    I have two dogs and they bark at me in an unique way when requesting my attention or when I’m arriving home, so I expect that to be my “name” to them.

    Don’t dogs identify individuals mostly based on smell? Would you have a smell-name?

      This led me down a weird chain of thought where I ended up at an internet for dogs, where they complain about smell profiles, and smellprint resisting browsers.

      They do.

      My smell-name would probably be something like sweaty ass with a hint of Nivea.

      Is that true? Explains why my dog behaves differently after my quarterly shower. Poor dude doesn’t recognise me.

        quarterly shower

        Even humans wouldn’t recognise you before and after that.

      POV, you’re a hard working mechanic and you’re dog calls you “Crotch Funk McGreasyclothes.” But you don’t speak dog, so all you know is that they love to stick their snoot in your crotch the second you sit down after getting home from work.

    Name your devices after humans.

      Fuck Dave. Dave is a piece of shit. Put him in the drive shredder, melt him down, and launch his pathetic ass into orbit.

        Mine is just about as boring as possible: “Grey Wolf” 🤦

        If we go with my Lemmy name, though, i’d say that Graceful Red is a pretty good nickname for a 1950s lounge singer 😄

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.
