-Easier birth control: Make the egg into an omelette

-Relaxed child support laws: Requires deliberate decision to incubate the egg

-Clean packaged periods: Egg = No mess!

Although, there would be stories about partners hiding fertilized eggs: Instead of unplanned parenthood we would have unconsensual parenthood

There's probably more nuances I am missing. But do discuss it in the comments.

No thank you. The eggs would have to be enormous to develop into a human baby, and laying one of those every month would suck.

Dinosaurs were pretty big too

But their newborns were tiny.

Yeah but the babies were small, which is what matters here.

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.
