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.

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.

“You see, there’s this thing we call «Furries», they’re anthropomorphic animals that-”
“But you humans are already animals. Are furries animals in the form of other animals?”
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits onto non-human entities. So in this context, we're just talking about non-human animals.
In some aspects this post anthropomorphizes aliens.

To humans they might be.
Still applies to Spongebob, no?
What if aliens have no bones so they call humans bonies?
And they do an impression like "Oh look at human me... don't think about biosphere collapse. Uhh, sure hope I don't slip on solid water and break my bone legs in the tax-filing business parking-lot! (my body is not proficient at such recovery and I cannot afford access to medical machines)"

When the wookies and ewoks come down the ramp, i highly doubt we'll be considered the "furries."
