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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
Only humans hate others for being different. So no, I’d imagine they wouldn’t think anything like that at all. In fact, I’d bet they would be incredibly curious and ask tons of questions.
I know from experience dogs, cows and a lot of birds hate each other for being different, so this is nothing unique.
You’re confusing instinctive territorial behavior with hate.
I think you're misinterpreting, I meant dogs of different breeds bring chill with an unknown dog of their own breed, while trying to get rid of dogs of a completely different breed, even if those have lived in the same neighbourhood for years.
Horses of different breeds in the same stable still have a hard time trusting each other, but not with one of their own breed, even if that's a visitor.
And so forth.
TL;DR humans aren't the only racist animals
Its still territorial. Which is instinctive. It’s not hate.
