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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Saw this question on reddit that I thought was a joke but has haunted me ever since.
Are we donuts?
From an evolutionary standpoint, yeah, we're donuts or tubes. It was either that or cups. Those creatures, like sea anemones eat and expel, erm, waste out of the same hole.
An example of a fellow tube is a sea cucumber
Topologically, a human has 7 holes.
Yea but ... Hmmmm.

Indeed
Depends on the size of the hole you define. I love vsauce but I personally think he chose a hole size too small
