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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
Animals that overeat are completely in control of their actions, they just don't see how eating makes them sick. Humans on the other hand are completely aware of this and yet we still can't stop eating.
I would have thought so until I got a pet pig. I haven't words to describe his behavior towards food, never seen anything like it. If he could knock the refrigerator over to get at a single morsel under it, he would. He has in fact moved it halfway across the kitchen to get a single scrap.
He will eat until he literally cannot move, and go for more the minute he can. Smartest animal I've ever known, but I'm not sure how much control he has.
