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

It'll be really hard to colonize space if everyone wants to have no children or at max 1 child (self.showerthoughts)

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
