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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
  6. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Humans should lay eggs (lemmy.world)

-Easier birth control: Make the egg into an omelette

-Relaxed child support laws: Requires deliberate decision to incubate the egg

-Clean packaged periods: Egg = No mess!

Although, there would be stories about partners hiding fertilized eggs: Instead of unplanned parenthood we would have unconsensual parenthood

There's probably more nuances I am missing. But do discuss it in the comments.

Hasn't it been discovered that dinosaurs were largely warm blooded like the birds they evolved into?

The more you know. So it could be more likely that humans sat on their eggs to keep them warm, or they would have been limited to tropical climates. Humans would have evolved very differently regardless.
