With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system? (midwest.social)

Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play.

Note: I know very little about sports and being on a sports team, so please point out anything that doesn’t make sense.

Ok but what if.... We just got rid of sports.

Bad idea. We need games so we don't raid each other's monkey groups.

Ok but you see, that was part of the plan all along!

E Sports. Liquid bread and electronic circus.

Modern problems require modern solutions.

Sounds awfully unhealthy. I wouldn't be in favor of that. I like swimming.

We could also get rid of fun, I guess.
Only clink-clang work from now on.

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.
