His real parents, or his human adopted parents? Because I'm not so sure he ever had a chance to see his real parents fuck. Not unless they taped it and left it on one of those crystals in his fortress of solitude. 🤷🏻♂️

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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Adoptive 👏 parents 👏 are 👏 real 👏 parents 👏
But yeah, he definitely saw Johnathan slamming that midwussy.
How does one do the clapping thing in real life? Do you clap along with every word, or alternate between word and clap?
Either at the start of each word or to accentuate each syllable.
He was too young to see this on his home planet. So yeah he might have seen his earth foster parents do it
The point was he has "X-Ray" vision, which lets him see through solid objects. Ergo, he likely couldn't help seeing them from time to time until he learned to control that power.
His superpowers doesn't work on Krypton
Sexual reproduction is prohibited on Krypton anyway.
People in here apparently don't know enough about Superman to be confused by the question.
What question?
He grew up on a farm. He saw lots of sex.
Also, x-ray vision. He saw lots of sex.
And? People have sex even if they have children already.
And most people don't wanna watch
Porn. 🙃
Hey I said most
Sex sells
free porn, which means you have to watch
Part of the social contract, what can you do?
I believe the point is, usually your kids don't have the power to see through walls. Of course I'm pretty sure most interpretations of superman, Depending on the interpretation of superman, he discovers his powers between 12 and 18.
He probably didn't have a choice no matter when he got the power - I doubt he knew how to control it right off the bat.
Damn Martha and John catching some strays here. Guys, they're his parents too.
?
Which part confused you. Show us on the doll.
Oh did OP mean his adoptive parents? I was thinking about his birth parents on Krypton.
Clearly.
He may have been on the other room but his x-ray vision and super hearing means he knew exactly what was happening.
If he has x-ray vision shouldn't he just be seeing a bunch of bones or other dense objects not penetrable by x-rays? Can it be shut off? How? Are we sure he wasn't responsible for a drastic rise in cancer rates by going around just blasting everyone with his radiation vision all day?
While he can turn off his laser vision I am going to go ahead and say he cannot turn off x-ray vision. Superman only identifies people based on skeletal structure.
Have you ever seen Superman compliment someones hair?
Me neither.
Is there a one-shot somewhere about people around superman getting cancer due to his x-ray vision? I think it would be an observable phenomenon if his eyes always worked in this manner.
Like watchmen
In the comics (at least those from my decades ago childhood), it's depicted as him seeing the same as normal people do - just through stuff. As such, I've always assumed it's not actually X-Rays proper & they just used that phrase to convey the concept of seeing through solid objects.
