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

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.
