Going through my family's photo album... with every moment being recorded in this surveillance hellscape there will be a generation of people who can watch themselves being born, or conceived--in SD, HD, 4k or 8k. Add audio too: mono or stereo? Surround sound? If that's not time-travel I don't know what is.

You don't know what time-travel is.

Having stared at my wife's vag as she gave birth, you don't want to see that. It's amazing watching your child be born, but there is.... it's not a vagina as you know it. If I wasn't able to compartmentalize and I saw that image in my head every time I had sex with my wife, I'd probably never have sex again.

If someone offered to show me a video of my birth.... I'd probably pass. The creature emerging from that portal to hell has no relation to what any is us became. Also, "I landed on a little poo," isn't something any of us wants to know.

Somewhere out there are fetishists claiming the exception to the rule but.... I'd think twice.

A percentage. Not sure what percentage, but certainly A percentage.

The percentage of people who want to see their moms vag and watch a live birth is near zero.

Which is not the same as zero.

To play it on dates, of course!

"So that's what happened to you."

Somewhere in the collection of VHS tapes is a video of me being born. I’m not interested in watching it.

Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
