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. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That requires defining normal function which is mega dangerous. Especially as we move away from default humanity.

Thats true, but there has to be a line drawn between someone disabled by accident or illness looking to recover their body faculties vs someone with no health issues looking to 'upgrade their limbs because it looks cool'.
