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.

- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I would expand that and say small kids in general are super wasteful. They consume a lot of resources, produce a lot of trash (and noise) and are a significant source of stress and sleep deprivation, both of which are suspected of causing cancer. ๐
The good news is they are biodegradable.
Sort of. Bones take a long time to degrade.
As someone who chose to be child free for many reasons, faeces everywhere, noise, trash and sleep deprivation are high on the list.
My daughter is coming in 8 weeks...and now you tell me?
Oh, best get all the sleep you can now! You need to stock up!
Almost 6 months with my daughter, nobody told me these babies get teeth?! Now she's crying at me because she bit herself and it's my fault!
She is hungry but doesn't want to eat? That's your fault. Tired, but doesn't want to sleep? Your fault.
There's still time to run out to the store for a pack of cigarettes.
Not to leave out the methane.
