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.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics 3.1) If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

  1. Wasn't Eve made from Adam's rib and thus shares his DNA?

No, the products of incest.

Hemophilia and all that would be more likely, but no cool identical stuff going on

A blood disease where your blood doesn't clot basically.

It's a disease where you don't stop bleeding when you bleed. The name comes from Latin words for blood and love, like, your body just loves bleeding

Depends on the chromosomes, if adam had two identical ones for each the kids would be clones barring mutations.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The chances are around 260k to 1. Factoring Eve's lack of a second sex chromosome, (unless she has swyer syndrome) the equation would be 1/((22²+1)(23²))≈0.00039%

Seeing how we're talking about religion and first man, I don't think we're limited by probability here.

BTW so there are 30k people with identical chromosomes??

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

As you mentioned it depends on chromosomal differences, I just provided the probability of it actually happening.

And, yes. Barring any mutations or trait selectivity, if we all came from the same individual, there would be about 30k identical people of the 8.1b population.

Lol, I read this as "would their kids be bones?"

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Lol only their mom is bones

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Hmmm, no, because which of your genes you pass down is still a bit random.

[–] ebits21@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

That one version. There actually two different versions of Adam and Eve.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

One was they both created at same time and second version she created from one of his ribs.
