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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Would the black version of the penis emoji be longer than the others? Would it be an erect or a flaccid penis? Why not both? Or better even, a full range of male excitement. The applications are endless!
(I'm joking of course but it does demonstrate the silly questions you would have to answer if you were to actually implement this)
I love this kind of thought experiment. Also, as representation is paramount, what would a vulva emoji look like ? there are so many flavours to them
Where are the tits emojis?
Are the round or saggy? Big or small? Pointy? Perky? With an upward curve like a ski jump?
Big aerolas? Small? Symmetrical? Light skin tone? Dark skin tone?
Options here people!
WE NEED OPTIONS!
.... On a more serious note, having just the penis added to the emote list would be sexist. Gotta be inclusive.
Also, the reason this doesn't happen and probably won't happen, is that emojis are universal, so everyone gets them.... Including small children. I know of a lot of people who would have a problem with that.
