      The world has been giving them nothing but praise for like 5-6 years now, I think that’s all.

          Imagine a rodent with duck feet. It’s between the height of your navel to your sternum - about 300lb. The hair is very coarse. It has a stubby tail. It eats like a goat but acts like a happy cow - they enjoy pets but would run away before acting aggressive

      Capybaras are clearly doing something right that we aren’t.

    Yeah, I can’t get enough of them. I literally have my colonists buy it all when capybara meat is in stock.

    The key is to just be cool and not a dick. They are the Keanu Reeves of animals. Keanu Reeves is the capybara of people.

      This gave me flashbacks to being on Reddit with the cult of Keanu Reeves. I respect the man but if he’s shown too much love puts him in a situation where anything he does will be scrutinised.

    Okay I’m clearly out of the loop. What’s happening with capybaras? Is this something I have to sort by All to understand?

      Running one’s tests from the perspective of a user allows for high level test-driven development. Whenever a red is too complex to green without thinking, one can drop down to unit level to drive out the details.

      It’s a little less efficient during runs, so long term a set of units developed emergent bugs should become the meat of the suite.

      I hope this clears things up

    They always seem so chill in photos but I’ve worked with them and they’re one of the most skittish animals I’ve dealt with, the tapir they lived with was always wanting scratches though

      Sharing a habitat with jaguars, pumas, and humans would make me skittish too.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !showerthoughts@lemmy.world

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.
