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

Due to its asynchronous and discreet nature, people don’t have to be in physical proximity or expect immediate responses.

That's called sarcasm. You can tell by the "somehow ok" part.

Yeah, I get that, but it still makes it sound like there is some group of people who believe it isn't cheating if they're the same sex.

That's because there are people that don't view "discovering your sexuality" as cheating. Just like there are people that think affair partners are morally clean if they are single because they "aren't in a relationship so they aren't the one cheating".

The world is mostly garbage and that person's joke was just drawing attention to a slice of that shit pie.
