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

Yeah, good point.
would their kids be clones?
No, the products of incest.
Hemophilia and all that would be more likely, but no cool identical stuff going on
What is hemophilia?
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.
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??
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?"
Lol only their mom is bones
Hmmm, no, because which of your genes you pass down is still a bit random.
