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

I wish people would be willing to put off eating all meat until we have lab grown stuff, like how most people are willing to put off eating human meat until we have lab grown stuff.

Can you labgrow your own body's meat? That would be more like chewing fingernails, swallowing your own blood or nibbling the occasional piece of skin, right?

Auto-cannibalism is different than just normal cannibalism

100% I can imagine it becoming a fad for couples to eat lab grown versions of each other's genitals.

Bro, move. I need to use the shower.

I'd give it a try once or thrice. The 16th time's the charm I always say.

Enjoy your side of kuru! It's the gift that waits to give, but once it starts, it never stops!

Eating ass, but now literally

If you currently want to avoid committing murder, would you take a pill that would cause you to want to commit murder?

There was a spoof documentary in the UK a few weeks ago about this! https://youtu.be/_c4mUH-p2Fg
