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.

Humans should lay eggs (self.showerthoughts)

-Easier birth control: Make the egg into an omelette

-Relaxed child support laws: Requires deliberate decision to incubate the egg

-Clean packaged periods: Egg = No mess!

Although, there would be stories about partners hiding fertilized eggs: Instead of unplanned parenthood we would have unconsensual parenthood

There's probably more nuances I am missing. But do discuss it in the comments.

No thank you. The eggs would have to be enormous to develop into a human baby, and laying one of those every month would suck.

Yeah but the babies were small, which is what matters here.
