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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Before tractors, almost the entire food chain involved animal slavery, since farms used draft animals. For that matter, even transportation was based on animal slavery (horses). Many of the sustainable and high performance fabrics like wool, silk, and leather are now replaced by synthetic fossil-derived plastics. But petroleum is also an animal product.

To be vegan, is to choose fossilized animal products and services over fresh.

No, because the vegans are right, eating meat isn't justifiable. You can't "both sides" morality. The attempt is an admission that you've lost the plot.

Consider the possibility that your feelings of guilt or being judged is a call coming from inside the house.

Since you've already decided how my part of the discussion is going to go, you may as well go ahead and hold it without me.
