    "T-minus 72 hours until cargo bay jettison.

    Go for retro burn. Pod orientation is now inverted.

    T-minus 48 hours.

    Umbilical is confirmed powered down. Pod is now on internal power."

    Not quite like wireless though, there has to be a latch on and suction, can’t just faceplant a baby on a boob.

      But if you place a baby in the rough area (the boobs) they can manoeuvre themselves to the correct area.

      This is long before any motor skills. It’s a primal instinct. Like holding their breath when submerged or grasping things placed in their hands.

        So babies are more like the magsafe charger then.

        Not even that, a newborn is able to crawl to the breast and start latching immediately after birth.

        Yeah except they generally don’t. There’s a reason classes to learn how to breastfeed and lactation consultants exist.

        Yes, there are plenty of boobs that use their devices.

    And now I’m mentally comparing nipples to induction chargers. Thanks for the image, op!

      Someone has to make a wireless charger with a nipple on it.

    its not wireless the tit is the wire. Wireless would be touching the mothers skin and the milk is just transfered to the baby.

      transfered is also not a good way to say it, it would be like the baby has the ability to produce milk inside its body with the energy that is coming off the mothers skin. Something like that

        Honestly it’s just a dumb analogy all the way down.

        The way an infant acquires nutrition before birth, is entirely different to the way it does so after birth, and neither is remotely similar to “charging”.

    Babies are fueled up like an internal combustion engine and produce lots of hazardous waste.

    It’s less wireless charging and more switching to the internal gasoline powered APU that you have to refill the gas tank on regularly

    My wife would absolutely disagree with this. She could “feed” the baby anywhere before, but now she has to sit every 2 hours every day. And that’s 2 hours from the start of the last feed; more like an hour break in between.

    Not really wireless, more like charging a handset on its dock.

    It’s all solar energy too. Just a matter of how many degrees of separation really.

    I find it even better when you think about the oxygen instead of the food, since babies become able to breathe on their own entirely without parental intervention.

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

  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
