In other words, there's going to have been a moment where the last proto-human to do it hung off a tree branch with their feet for the very last time in the entire evolutionary branch that would eventually become us.

Wild to think about it, I agree.

there's a forgotten chatroom somewhere out there, where you and your mates from middle school used to spend time on. at some point someone will send the last message, not even knowing it was the last one

imagine that but for proto-humans

Like the last time I picked up my daughter. Couldn’t even tell you when it was, insignificant at the time.

(She’s not gone or anything, she’s just older now lol)

Sounds like you should try picking her up again, just to prove a point

Yes :) this is what I mean. And we can go further back in time, beyond proto-humans. Our ancestry includes mammals, reptiles... all the way to single cells.

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.
