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

Dog body temp is ~101-102.5 F (some go as low as 99.5 F). If your dog is 10 degrees hotter than you, you either have hypothermia or they have a severe fever.
We may be perceived as a little cooler than them but probably not "cold".
For anyone else reading this that also doesn't know F to C conversion like me...
101F = 38.33333C
Repeating, of course.
101F = 38.33333C101F = 38.33333C101F = 38.33333C101F = 38.33333C
To infinity and beyond!
Oh dog, they meant Fathrenheits! I was thinking 10 degrees Celsius hotter, which sounded even more insane (that's 18°F if my math is correct).
Message to dear Americans: If you insists on using your freedom units, can you at least mark them properly? We have no way of knowing where you are from.
They're dead 10 degrees hotter. That's not even a high temp, that's way past bringing them to the vet even
