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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'd say a dog would still go to predictable places eg. they'd go for a walk on their usual route (maybe a bit larger).

I often let my dog choose where we're walking and he takes it as an opportunity to update all the places he knows in town, so we end up walking a 5k loop, it's just more chaotic than when I'm leading.

I had a Husky. For me it would have been the random path of deer, rabbits, and random people's driveways. He had no sense of direction, and cared not for walking norms.

My dog would indeed go one of his usual routes, just whichever one he liked most at the moment.

Then he got old and him leading the way would mean pissig over the neighbour's hedge and going back to the couch.

Now he's not walking anymore. Well, maybe on clpuds.
