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

But if you place a baby in the rough area (the boobs) they can manoeuvre themselves to the correct area.

This is long before any motor skills. It's a primal instinct. Like holding their breath when submerged or grasping things placed in their hands.

Not even that, a newborn is able to crawl to the breast and start latching immediately after birth.

Yeah except they generally don't. There's a reason classes to learn how to breastfeed and lactation consultants exist.
