I believe the rule is if you do something stupid to remove yourself from the gene pool... so theoretically... in a very tragic situation... a person can have kids and then do something stupid enough that the kids die too... >

You went dark with it >

It’s true. The person that posted this likely speaks before thinking frequently. >

Which is literally what a shower thought is, in essence, so it fits the subreddit fine. >

That is not at all what showerthought means. >

People who drive drunk with their kids in the car would beg to differ. >

What if you die, win the award, but you've frozen some if your sperm and later it gets used. >

Award revoked, unless the kid proves non-viable, or otherwise dies before itself reproducing.  Then you get your award back. >

post posthumously >

You can actually get a Darvin Award if you have Kids. 
On the official website it says: 'The existence of offspring, though potentially deleterious to the gene pool, does not disqualify a nominee.' >

I'll have a child in secret before getting sterlized and reveal it on my death bed to clown on them. >

You gotta die to get one..... >

No you just have to remove yourself from the genepool with a very stupid action. Making yourself unable to reproduce + having no (longer) kids (which can reproduce) qualifies for nomination. >

Not true. If you kill your kids before they can reproduce, you can still collect. >

Or your kids and grandchildren, before those grandchildren reproduce, or.. >

Wait a second u don’t mean to say humanity as a whole will end someday? >

That for sure, but I don't think you win that Darwin award unless you personally, actively, contributed to the death of your lineage, ideally by something very dumb. (Killing all of humanity works, but is rather excessive). >

Try sitting in a bath with the whole family and introduce a toaster to the mix. >

I think they use an "honorable mention" designation in some of these cases.
