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.

That's called sarcasm. You can tell by the "somehow ok" part.

Yeah, I get that, but it still makes it sound like there is some group of people who believe it isn't cheating if they're the same sex.

[–] Beldarofremulak 1 points 4 months ago

That's because there are people that don't view "discovering your sexuality" as cheating. Just like there are people that think affair partners are morally clean if they are single because they "aren't in a relationship so they aren't the one cheating".

The world is mostly garbage and that person's joke was just drawing attention to a slice of that shit pie.
