/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse. All moderation activity should operate within this spirit.

Makes sense. Seems like a vestigial part of our bodies, but since our scent over time has lessened, the advantages remain questionable.

Indeed, at this point it's likely one of those things that evolution has backburner'd for the time being, since it doesn't have as much of a noticeable impact on continuation of the species anymore. Not needed enough to improve it, not detrimental enough to remove it.

Our scent has lessened over time? You've never sat on a commuter bus next to a nigger apparently.
Oh, I see, our (humans) scent has decreased. Sub-humans still stink like the filthy animals they are.
