I guess I don't get what your point is. Caribou are wild, reindeer is generally used for domesticated caribou (at least in North America)

A woman once asked me if I knew the difference between reindeer and caribou. I said "sure, reindeer are domesticated caribou."

Her reply?

"Well ackshually caribou are wild."

This exchange occurred in Alaska.

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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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
