Most whales never come close enough to land to see humans who aren't in boats. Divers are pretty rare.
So they might think of humans as boat brains.
Boats have brains, but they're not very well attached. When a boat brain falls out of the boat, usually the brain dies. Fortunately, boats have more than one brain and can survive losing one.
Headcanon 🤣
Tbh that’s pretty much like all of our “common sense” knowledge develops, so that makes sense.
I love this sub for all the conversational subjects when you are stoned.
The council of whales will not like this shower thought.
The council of whales is conflicted about showers themselves
Why? It's not like there are suddenly no humans at sea. Small fishing vessels may have gone down in number but in the meantime leisure vessels and the sheer number of humans have gone up (it's massive). Humans are ⅓ of all land mammal biomass. Whale scientists are probably more puzzled by the lack of species diversity among land mammals that visit the sea.
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.
