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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Which, if the world was fair, would have been named the cock-a-doodle-poo

Then maybe just the small ones are poo...

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

No, the small ones are delicious.

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

The small ones are cavoodles or chihoodles.

Chipoo. Chihuahua+poodle mix.

I have one of these.

[–] Gregorech@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Because Choodle sounds like a brand of chickpea noodles.

Havipoo = havanese + poodle. Don’t ask me, my spouse told me about it.

perhaps they just needed the loo?

A Jack Russel Terrier + Poodle is a Jack Shit.

I swear I heard of cockapoos in the 70s but only heard of doodles in the last 10 years. I wonder if I just lived a sheltered existence or what ?

[–] darganon@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Most people just call them "mutts"

I have a schnauzer + poodle = schnoodle named Ziti.

I parents owned a cockapoo while growing up, and my siblings and I didn't like it because it was aggressive as hell and my mother treated it like an actual factual babby.

Once my sister was eating a hot pocket, and the dog wanted it, so it mauled her badly. It jumped up on the table randomly and mauled her face. It took several surgeries to get her face back to normal. My mother lied and told the police she had it destroyed.

About 3 years later, it became paralyzed from the waist down after it attacked me. It jumped for my face and landed wrong. It didn't die, and my mother blames me for the incident to this day, 30 or so years later.

It would piss and shit all over everything until it died of old age about a decade later. All the while, my mother treated it more and more like a baby because it couldn't get away, and it wore diapers when my mother wasn't too lazy.

I'm sure most of my issues with the dog were due to the owner being a shitty person.

Though after it ate part of my sister's face, I'm convinced that it saw everyone but my mother as "meat," which is why I couldn't get along with the dog. I mostly tolerated it until I emancipated myself early.

What is happening in this post

[–] Gregorech@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I was apparently more controversial with my silly cock-a-doodle post than I anticipated.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Never heard cockapoo in my life, only cockerpoodle.

[–] Gregorech@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Met one at the dog park the other day could be regional

Cavalier poodle is called a cavoodle
