If it's the lower jaw doing the biting, are we using underbite and overbite, backwards?

    Your jaw muscles force your jaws together. It’s both jaws doing the biting.

    No. It’s still your lower jaw. It’s under your upper jaw.

    The over bite refers to the upper jaw. Because your upper jaw is over your lower jaw.

    The under bite refers to the lower jaw. Because your lower jaw is under your upper jaw.

        I hope they’re all horizontal mate, flights are uncomfortable enough as it is

    ‘bite down’ is also a lie

    Cats cannot move their jaws sideways I’ve heard. I’d rather be a cat than have sidebite.

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.
