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.
The answer is in the movie. When explaining the Matrix to Neo, Morpheus says: "There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown."
Doesn't specify the exact how, but it's strongly implied that it is through either cloning or artificial gestation.
They use robo arms to just rub people's limp bodies together.
Upvote for the hillarious image in my head.
For me, that, but with “Now Procreate!”
It's cloning. That how Neo has been born over and over again.
The machines stores the generic code of all the first humans they put in pods and then they just crank out copies.
I completely forgot about that part of the movie. Thanks for the reminder!
I think you are due for a re-watch! It's great when it's been a few years and you can enjoy some of the bits you forgot about.
Unfortunately we can never experience the big reveal for the first time again. It was absolutely mind-blowing watching him wake up in the pod on the big theater screen for the first time. That was the coolest movie experience I've ever had.
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. So many firsts to revisit
Are you saying to watch ESotSM, or to utilize its one weird trick?
Unfortunately I cannot forget even a second of The Matrix.
Fortunately, I don’t need to. It’s like listening to this yet again. It’s beautiful even though I know every note and can listen to the whole thing in my head any time I want: https://youtu.be/LZ48G9UziRs?si=WdHnkS5bvDNdF1wv
They actually touch on it in the animated movie that spanned a series of vignettes from that universe.
Spoiler alert: it ain’t pretty.
artificial gestation
The word "matrix" literally means "womb" in its older sense.
Why even grow them with arms and legs if they are just going to be batteries? Wouldn't it be easier to just grow cows instead?
Because shut up. /s
But really though, the entire concept of using humans as batteries is absurd. Don't think too hard about it, just enjoy the movie.

Robot spiders steal cum and inject it in another female.
I don't know about y'all but I can't even get aroused anymore without having a robot spider jacking me off.
Gotta wonder how that robot feels about humanity
Sticky, mostly.
Meh, it's a living!
"It's a living..."
That robot is most likely not sentient.
That's some Rule 34 material right there.
Cummy spiders 😩😩😩
Eww I was just going to suggest it goes through all the little tubes attached anyway I'm leaving before I see anything else
They probably extract sperm and eggs and gestate them right in the pods
You see, when a daddy battery and mommy battery love each other they hug and grunt and that's how babby formed
No they just merge their codebases and create a new life that way.
Example:
You mean ram sticks
