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.

Isn't it weird that we have exactly five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I mean why 5, why 5 on each limb, why not 4 or 6. Why do our feet also have 5. Whats with our body being so symmetrical.

People who know anything about evolution, now is your time to shine.

Thank you. But this doesn't explain the number of digits in hands and feet, does it? Great read BTW.
