If octopuses had to wear clothes, they'd probably just wear skirts or kilts instead of pants.

    They’d wear swimsuits, of course. Who wears skirts or pants in the water?

    Many octopodes can change the color and pattern of their skin at will.

    Our clothing and tattoos are but crude facsimiles of their capabilities. Cephalopods have no need of such frivolities.

    England would still force them to change into trousers on the mainland.

    Why the fuck would octopuses have to wear clothes?! Come to think of it… why do humans have to wear clothes?

    Pants are a status symbol in octopus society. Custom tailored, and you have servants to help you put them on.

      I think servants to help put them on are pretty much a necessity.

    This is the place for my joke!

    Did you hear about the man with five penises?

    His pants fit LIKE A GLOVE!

      It’s even better if you tell it in a Sean Connery voice.

    No they would wear an octuple of jeans.

    They’d probably just wear socks or 80’s style leg warmers.

    They’d wear four pairs of jeans and older octopuses would criticise them for sagging their waists.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.
