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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

transfered is also not a good way to say it, it would be like the baby has the ability to produce milk inside its body with the energy that is coming off the mothers skin. Something like that

Honestly it's just a dumb analogy all the way down.

The way an infant acquires nutrition before birth, is entirely different to the way it does so after birth, and neither is remotely similar to "charging".
