It'll be really hard to colonize space if everyone wants to have no children or at max 1 child
(self.showerthoughts)
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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Why?
colonization involves child making, usually
By the time space colonization may be a thing, people will live 500 years, be half robots, with full robots doing all the work and artificially growing new babies. People not wanting kids won't be an issue.
Well, or we'll all be long dead due to the nuclear wars for water.
tbh if robots did all that for us, I fear we may be "content" with what we have on our hands and live inside our fantasy-sex ultra vr chat servers, although having children also involves "having" them too but yeah I guess the shower thought is kinda invalid lol
