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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I wonder what fish and sharks think of whales and dolphins that have to surface to breath. I can totally see it "get out of here air breather, go hug the surface." (lemmy.ca)

You’re confusing instinctive territorial behavior with hate.

I think you're misinterpreting, I meant dogs of different breeds bring chill with an unknown dog of their own breed, while trying to get rid of dogs of a completely different breed, even if those have lived in the same neighbourhood for years.

Horses of different breeds in the same stable still have a hard time trusting each other, but not with one of their own breed, even if that's a visitor.

And so forth.

TL;DR humans aren't the only racist animals

Its still territorial. Which is instinctive. It’s not hate.
