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.

Now this is a truly high quality showerthought. I think we're finally getting somewhere with this whole Lemmy thing.

Oh it goes deeper than this -

Baby's are made of materials floating around in their gestational parent's blood. And guess what breastmilk is made of..... It's made of blood. Your body literally takes your blood and turns it into milk.

So until they start eating food, a breastfed baby is made entirely of their mother's blood plus a single sperm.

By that logic, we're all made of blood, even in adulthood, because our cells get everything they need from blood.

Let's be frank, how many bong rips do you have before coming to this conclusion?

[–] Rootiest@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They are basically made of bong water now

This one reminds me of:

  • Gummy bears contain gelatin
  • In the USA at least, gelatin is derived from bones
  • Technically, gummy bears are not boneless

Does that mean vegans aren’t made of meat, but of vegetables?

[–] GreyBeard@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are sentient vegetables?

Just like in veggie tales

Well, women are born with all the eggs they will develop over the course of their entire life, so in a sense a baby is made up of whatever their maternal grandma was eating during their pregnancy

i don't think you understand what "you are what you eat" actually meant
