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.

Maybe it's because I haven't had coffee yet, but could you do the math for me? 12-14 doesn't seem right.

Male 7: 1 mouth, 2 nostrils, 2 ears, 1 anus, 1 urethra

Female 8: 1 mouth, 2 nostrils, 2 ears, 1 anus, 1 urethra, 1 vagina

Male/Male Kissing : 7+7-2: 12 openings

Male/Female Kissing: 7+8-2: 13 openings

Female/Female Kissing: 8+8-2: 14 openings

But if we are going by topology logic the vagina isn't a true hole it's caped by the womb init so it's at most a cave

Ears terminate at the eardrum

Urethra terminates at the bladder.

There's a tube connecting your ears to your mouth and urine has to make it from your digestion to bladder

Your digestive tract isn't connected to your bladder with a tube or anything. Any liquid that gets to the bladder went through the kidney first

Got it. I thought you meant 12-14 openings each, and I was arguing semantics to myself about what could possibly be considered "openings" to make the number that big.

Good, thank you.

Vagina probably wouldn't be considered a hole but a cleft in this situation. Everything else in that list is connected to the digestive system in some way but not the vagina.

What part do nostrils and ears play in the digestive system?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

The ears are connected to the throat via the Eustachian tubes. Those tubes are the reason why you can swallow and equalize the pressure in your ears when you are diving or in an airplane. Noses are connected via the sinus cavities.

The urethra is still separate from the digestive system though.

I put liquid into my body.

My body digests this liquid.

My kidneys digest it into pee.

Pee comes out my urethra

Done and dusted

Yes, but there's no single "tube" from your intestines to your kidneys. Your intestines absorb the liquid and then send it through a branching network of tubes which eventually end up at the kidneys.

Wrong, pee is stored in the balls.

Here's some trivia: People who don't have the sublingual frenulum can, with some practice, reach their tongues to the nasal cavity and directly touch the back side entrance of both the nasal tubes (choanas) and eustachian tubes (auditory, surrounded by the bony cushion).

You're welcome.

I know it shouldn't be, but that's nightmare fuel right there

Most force feeding torture is done via a tube inserted into the nostril, which goes all the way down to the stomach.

Topologically speaking, a vagina is, indeed, not a hole.
