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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Not after a lobotomy
Performing a lobotomy to a human sounds highly illegal in itself, but as far as I know are lobotomized humans still humans with all human rights.
Well, that's fair enough, but i think we already abandoned legality of the whole operation at the "growing entire human body" part
I don't think that there is a legal issue with that, as long as only a lifeless body is grown
Good, then we're all agreed. I'm gonna fuck a corpse.
It is not a corpse it if was never alive.
The problem with a lifeless body is it will quickly decompose, so it has to have basic functions like breathing and blood pumping
No brain but a microcontroller to give the right electric signals to the lungs and heart.
It is a fascinating Gedankenexperiment, very creepy and dark but fascinating
That could work, yes
(Bezos if you ever do this could you give us a cut of the profits? Thans in advance)
Also i think the word you are looking for is thought experiment (unless german was a stylistic choice)
