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

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • 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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Step away from the shower.

If a man donates his sperm and a woman donates an egg, then a baby can be conceived without either bio-parent engaging in intercourse, through in vitro fertilization ("test tube baby"). If the donors remain virgins long enough (maybe they're ace or something), then their bio-child could lose their virginity before either of them do.

Assuming that's what OP meant, that would be a lot more clear.

I didn't think I needed to go that in depth 😅

Yeah, but the way OP wrote the sentence, it reads like they're saying the children can make a baby before they themselves are born.

It's op's first time with the devil's lettuce

After reading the title I'm convinced they might be blackout drunk

You can jerk off in a cup and have a girl turkey baster that jizz inside her and she can get pregnant. The kid is born and then has sex before either of you. They lost their virginity before you

Thanks for that mental image of a girl using a turkey baster as a dildo and jizz as lube of some sort.

So this is how virgins reproduce

This sounds like the start of a prophecy.

I love the cognitive dissonance that this produces.

This is an incredibly badly written sentence.
