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

That's an interesting theory. Maybe ancient humans didn't have a sense of taste.
Ancient humans? Europe didn't have potatoes until they were imported from the Americas in the 1600s. Conversely, the Americas didn't have apples. So it would basically be impossible for anyone before the Colombian exchange to have eaten both of these fruits.
I meant great-grandad.
