"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.

[-] insaneinthemembrane@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

Apple and Samsung want to have a word with you.

[-] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] cloudless@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] naticus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

My electric toothbrush kinda has a nipple shaped wireless charger.

[-] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Well if you do that thing it does get your partner awfully hot

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

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] manual3204@iusearchlinux.fyi 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] cloudless@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Ok your wife is the docking station then.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] thechadwick@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] aeki@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Showerthoughts

36337 readers
1000 users here now

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:

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

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.
