Dogs like squeaky toys, because it simulates killing small animals. It doesn’t care if you kill other animals.

My dog would wear a squirrel as a hat if we let him.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

If my dogs are any indication, they would wear a recently deceased squirrel as a coat, entrails and all, preferably dripping blood.

My pup straight up skinned a squirrel a few weeks after we adopted her.

Hey, it's cool when the Orca do it with Salmon! Why do you want your dog to not be cool.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 55 points 5 months ago

"bro, wtf share next time"

[-] aeternum 1 points 5 months ago

[-] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 32 points 5 months ago

I don’t think dogs are that judgmental.

When you bring someone home and the dog starts growling:

It really is the clothes themselves that are strange. That they come from plants, animals, or minerals are largely unimportant, but canis lupus really doesn't care what you kill.

[-] xylogx@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

The weird thing about clothes is that we don’t think they are weird.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

They would do it too if they could

[-] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

They would. Mine love to roll around in dead things when I’m not watching.

The cat thinks it’s cool

[-] Tiuku@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 months ago

More likely the dog would just chew on the jacket.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

My dog eats his own shit so ….

[-] drperil@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago

Or that you’re a mighty hunter!

[-] Una@europe.pub 6 points 5 months ago

And dogs are just as psycho as humans

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 3 points 5 months ago

My dogs would probably think I was that much cooler for it, I don't have a leather jacket though.

[-] Yermaw@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

I knew those thumbs were good for more than turning metal cylinders into food.

[-] Fleur_@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

You are a psycho

[-] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago

Anything oil based, like plastic, is the bodies of another animals. Your dog is probably wearing a plastic collar, if not a leather one .. oh wait!

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:

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.
