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

Realistically speaking, we really need to start differenciating between restoring human functions (like artificial eye for the blind) and enhancements augmenting abilities normal human limits (that same eye having x-ray and nightvision).

Restoring functions, at least, should be treated as universal medicine and healthcare and be available for whoever needs it.

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