                      but humming counts as singing, doesn’t it? which means that you COULD sing without vowels

                          and birds also don’t have official vowels. I’m starting to see the flaws in my thought :)

                                Yea, some voiced consonants like L, M, N, R and maybe Y would work fine for singing, I think. Like if we only had words like “Hm”, or “Lt” (pronounced similar to “ult”), you could sing it fine.

                                    I mean those are already halfway to vowels. In Japanese, “N” can be its own syllable.

                                    No, I would not consider humming singing

                                        well - Wikipedia seems to disagree, and says “common definitions include “the utterance of words or sounds in tuneful succession””

                                        and that was just the first place i looked.

                                      30 years ago my music teacher told me that in Chinese-language singing it’s the consonants that are sustained.

                                          And also vowel (open-mouth) sounds. They just hold consonant sounds like English singers holds vowel sounds.

The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

                                                                  Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

                                                                  1. All posts must be showerthoughts

                                                                    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
                                                                    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
