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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Lab grown meat already exists. The same processes could easily make human meat without harming the human.

I'm fairly certain this will at some point lead to a social media fad of people trying, well, people. It seems like every possible stupid action has already been turned into one at this point https://eu.app.com/story/news/world/2024/03/07/what-is-tiktok-chroming-trend/72879475007/

Onlyfans creators already sell stuff like toenail clippings and bathwater https://kotaku.com/belle-delphine-onlyfans-paypal-pornhub-bath-water-1851491916

Wouldn't be difficult to imagine people buying meat made of their favourite creator. What they do with it is between them and their god.

He was always very oddly into ethical consumption.

I keep mixing up Armin Meiwes and Armin Meiwald. Really unfortunate coincidence that their names are so similar yet what they're known for is so different.

He's a children's author, oof 😆

Slightly different life choices between the two.

Not only an author but the co-creator and original host of Die Sendung mit der Maus, Germany's longest-running and most popular educational show for children.

What a nice guy

Should I be proud/glad I have no clue who that is?

Do you answer personal ads? If not you are fine either way.

Like, on dating sites?

Edit: Ok, looked it up. No, I wouldn't be answering personal ads from this guy :)

I guess I saw the IT Crowd episode that must have been referencing this.
