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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I have an acquaintance that is having their life ended next month due to constant medical suffering and just had this morbid thought. Care Now could have a spinoff business called Death Now.

How about a spin-off called roulette now?

If you're suicidal but also scared to die, you can go into roulette now.

They'll put you into the pod and fill it with a gas and you will go to sleep.

Then a random number generator spins up a number.

If your number is called, the chamber fills with nitrogen and you never wake up again.

If not, nothing happens, eventually the sedative wears off and you wake up, having literally put your life into the hands of a random number generator.

Congratulations, you have survived your suicide. If you would like to keep surviving your suicide, here are some people you can talk to.

Imagine encouraging someone to do this, in hopes that a near-death experience would reenergize them and make them look at life more optimistically, but the RNG just offs them first round.
