Give me a wolf muzzle any day. Having a human face just feels wrong.

Showerthoughts

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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Freedom of Form Foundation is working on this (and the rest of the body) :3
I really hope it's scientifically possible somehow!
Even if not, I bet it'd be more feasible to build a robot wolf body, scoop out our brain and put it inside. I'd take robot wolf over *waves paw at human body* any day.
We're all feral (for the non-furries reading this: normal animal shaped) which means the rest of the body is significantly harder than it would be for an anthro, but honestly the stuff they'd need to do to our limbs is probably small potatoes compared to the shit they'd need to do to our skull (and that applies equally well to anthros).

My dog disagrees.
Some other animals do have lips.
Fish. I think that's it. Maybe you could argue snails.
But they ain't pink
Dogs have lips, for one
Someone pointed-out that Black people have pale skin on the insides of their hands, same for people of India..
& that at night, in a tribal village ( without electric lighting.. ) that would make communication Italian-style, with gestures, work MUCH better..
Enough-so, that if there were any proto-humans who didn't have that pale-gesturing-skin on them, they .. apparently didn't survive the last few million years of Natural Selection..
The more dimensions of immersion/communication, the more effective the immersion/communication.
Nintendo made a mint on that, when they ignored the higher-graphics-resolution paradigm that their competitors were working on, to instead add-in motion/gesture, & the immersion-multiplication that that provided..
More dimensions is a fundamental advantage!
Perhaps if you ever get into a discussion with someone who's deaf-enough that they lip-read, instead of hearing you, you'll discover/feel how disturbing/"wrong" it is, to have no eye-contact, when discussing something..
But the fact that they can discuss things with one even though they can't hear well what one's saying .. that, too, is natural-selection advantage, through our ancestors..
Sometimes the flourishes that evolution produces are directly-significant ( like the items I've listed above ) & sometimes evolution produces negative-flourishes, like male-pattern-baldness ( after youth, male-attractiveness becomes irrelevant?, as far as evolution is concerned? genetic-reproduction's already settled, then, right? )
