Walruses should be called saber-toothed seals.
(feddit.cl)
Saber toothed tigers should be called walrus cats.
Walcat, if you will.
Can we also call spiders “saber-toothed ants”? Oh, and then there’s also “saber-toothed worms”.
I’m sure none of this will trigger anyone.
I like how you think.
You're going places
Technically they're closer to sea lions than seals... So really, sea lions should have been called sea tigers, than walrus would be saber-toothed sea tigers...
This guy walruses.
goo goo gajoo...
Can we get a evolutionary scientist in here?
I understand sabre-teeth have come up a few times in the record. Are walrus sabre-toothed for real?
Don't worry, I did my own research.
I trust you implicitly
Salmon used to have sabreteeth! Some of them, anyway. They were big fucking fish.
"I am the saber-toothed seal" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, though...
Coo coo ca choo
Their own fault for using a misnomer.

They don’t look that much like seals.
They should be called “saber-toothed wilford-brimleys”.
I think you might be onto something.
Sabertoothed obese seals.
I can't remember ever laughing out loud at a title alone.
Walrii!

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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- 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.
