I once saw someone post on Facebook on valentine's day "happy conception day to all the mid-november babies. You may not have been planned but at least the sex was"
September kids eventually figure out we were probably New Year conceptions.
This is a shower that was taken a very long time ago.
If you immediately know the dripping sound is water, then the shower was taken a long time ago.
Indeed.
Many people i know were born may or june, suggesting conception during summer holidays perhaps. Barely any i know were november birthdays.
I wonder if people put strategy into it - for instance you might think a september birth willl be better at school than their younger peers.
Or if age doesn't affect school performance that much, they might feel bad if they underperform against younger students
Or perhaps you'd choose to create a summer child so they get to have finished school and uni earlier on in their life.
Baby, it’s cold outside
Scorpios be wild because they were made wildly
Is this a superbowl thing or what?
I assume Valentine's Day.
Ah, makes more sense. Although... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10906258/
Probably nothing to do with sports directly.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
