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

If a man donates his sperm and a woman donates an egg, then a baby can be conceived without either bio-parent engaging in intercourse, through in vitro fertilization ("test tube baby"). If the donors remain virgins long enough (maybe they're ace or something), then their bio-child could lose their virginity before either of them do.

Assuming that's what OP meant, that would be a lot more clear.

I didn't think I needed to go that in depth 😅

Yeah, but the way OP wrote the sentence, it reads like they're saying the children can make a baby before they themselves are born.

After reading the title I'm convinced they might be blackout drunk

You can jerk off in a cup and have a girl turkey baster that jizz inside her and she can get pregnant. The kid is born and then has sex before either of you. They lost their virginity before you

Thanks for that mental image of a girl using a turkey baster as a dildo and jizz as lube of some sort.

So this is how virgins reproduce

This sounds like the start of a prophecy.

I love the cognitive dissonance that this produces.

This is an incredibly badly written sentence.
