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

Now this is a truly high quality showerthought. I think we're finally getting somewhere with this whole Lemmy thing.

Let's be frank, how many bong rips do you have before coming to this conclusion?

They are basically made of bong water now

Well, women are born with all the eggs they will develop over the course of their entire life, so in a sense a baby is made up of whatever their maternal grandma was eating during their pregnancy

Hopefully not soft ones though!

I was born with Brie for brain.

Mom's got the eggs and the milk. Shes an omelet.

This is starting to get complex

This always trips me out so much.... Things that you do while pregnant directly impact your maternal grandchildren because they are INSIDE you

A 99 lb kid eats a pound of Nachos, becoming 1% Nacho.

Milk is around 88% water, btw.

Oh it goes deeper than this -

Baby's are made of materials floating around in their gestational parent's blood. And guess what breastmilk is made of..... It's made of blood. Your body literally takes your blood and turns it into milk.

So until they start eating food, a breastfed baby is made entirely of their mother's blood plus a single sperm.

By that logic, we're all made of blood, even in adulthood, because our cells get everything they need from blood.

Most cats are made of water and cat food

Did someone say cheese?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

i don't think you understand what "you are what you eat" actually meant

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

*processed cheese...

This one reminds me of:

  • Gummy bears contain gelatin
  • In the USA at least, gelatin is derived from bones
  • Technically, gummy bears are not boneless

I'm no doctor but that sounds medically accurate.

This is the most shower thought ever thought

I'm gonna chop my baby, and sell to supermarkets!

Does that mean vegans aren’t made of meat, but of vegetables?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are sentient vegetables?

Just like in veggie tales
