Reply to comment by SmackEh in Realizing that there is nothing unique about you can be both very comforting and very appalling. by RubyTavi
I would posit that x number of people out of 8 billion have has the same thought I posted...and that it is less wrong than you think.

Reply to Young generations tend to judge or pity for old generations but the fact is that the later are apparently happier, less anxious and more content with what they achieved or failed to. by red-ed
This is not statistically accurate. Gen Z experiences more anxiety than any other generations.

I misread it in the same way. Was very confused by the comments.

Reply to It's weird that you can only find some things, people and animals only in some parts of the world. by Rubymaybebabe
Uh, it's not weird at all. Different parts of the world are... different, so things adapt to those differences. Somethings more than others.

When I say that I'm not a particularly smart person and that you're giving me too much credit, it doesn't mean that I'm humble. It means that y'all are morons.
I'd love to say that to every single person at my office.

Reply to Humen is a more logical plural to human than humans. It’s men and women, not mans and womans. by frenglish_man
This is bordering on angering a lot of "-ist" groups.

If the air were colder it’d be a differently pressurized environment, so within any specific environment it’d always have the potentiality to be full. So even with your semantics I think OP’s showerthought is accurate in that sense. But not in the sense of using vacuum suction to remove the air.

It could just be missing the apostrophe...
Just a punctuation error, just saying...

Are you actually a philologist?
If so, you should require remuneration for articulating this explication.
Ok, smarty pants, if more than one ox is 'oxen' then why is more than one ax not 'axen'?

Reply to Your brain can remember a random event from 7 years ago, but can easily forget why you walked in a room 10 secs ago. by Living_Psychology_95
I can remember some dumb shit I said to impress a girl when I was in 6th grade, and I am as embarrassed about it now even more than I was then... But I once forgot why I opened Disney plus... Halfway through Revenge of the Sith I realised I did not open Disney to watch Star Wars. Last Wednesday I remembered that I had opened it to watch Hamilton.

Possibly, if I'm inside and someone says this to me, I usually go the window and see for myself...

Totally agree. Well said! As a gen AA (sorry bra size oops) I can totally support this with Jamie Lee Fox showing her tits in protest of the AAMA tribute awards 1994. NSFVV

It is almost like animals adapted to the specific circumstances around them over time. Circumstances that may not have been present in other places.

This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.
Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"
(For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)
Rule-breaking posts may result in bans.

So now we have to say “of this very specific liquid” every time we use this phrase, rather than assuming everyone inherently understands?
Sometimes I really do believe humanity is getting dumber.

PS: What a fucking weird name to give to an animal. I didn’t know before I checked.

Agreed. Consider the amount of pixels a single image could have and how many variations of color they could have. Just a 16x16 image has 256 pixels, and each can have 256^3 = 16,777,216 colors. In conclusion, there would be 4,294,967,296 possibilities. Now, consider you would have to find a single word for each variatoon.
Then, consider the size of the universe from atomic scale to the galaxies, and imagine if each subset of particles would need a separate word. Such an amount could only be astronomically large. This has not even accounted for any changes and processes in time.
