Story time: once upon a time, back when I was much, much cooler than I am now, I used to ride a motorcycle. I had this bad habit of riding with the visor up and no sunglasses. That is, until one day, a bug got stuck in my eyelid. I had to ride for 30 minutes like that before I got home and was able to wash out my eyeball.
Moral of the story: eye protection! Always eye protection!
Even with my visor down with a full face mask I had it happen once. I guess it came in through the neck somehow? I also had that fucker in my eyeball for like 30-40 minutes before I got to a gas station
My front of my car used to get covered in bugs years ago, but not these days. Not a good sign.
But the OP’s shower thought made me chuckle! It’s something I’ve never thought about before.
Probably not, thanks to their nictitating membrane (or haw).
It's an extra see-through eyelid that keeps dust and debris out of their eyes.
So they are related to Vulcans? /s
Clearly. Where do you think they got those ears from?
And here I was thinking they must be amphibians.
Oh so like birds? That's cool!
Haaaaaw yeeeaaaahhhhh!
They actually love it
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:
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.
