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

It's also implied that she engages in statutory rape.

She's unaware of Josh's real age though, so I don't know the legal or moral implications.

Moral implications don't exist for her. She saw a fully adult male.

Legal implications don't exist, because no law on the books takes into account the concept of a child inhabiting an adults body.

Josh on the other hand......

Josh is a child and bears no responsibility for any sexual encounters
