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

A trebuchet builds trust. "I wouldn't trust him any farther than I could throw him." (lemmy.ca)

Putting people you don't trust into a trebuchet is a win-win: it technically means you trust them more, but it also makes them someone else's problem.

Agreed. I figure that after a trip in the trebuchet almost anyone is going to be "trustworthy". At least, in the sense that they can no longer betray your trust.

Orrrrrrrrr, they could turn into R-Kelly.

No, not the thing about believing they can fly. I meant more along the lines of pissing on 16 year old girls, and raping them.

What? There's a REASON they got launched from a trebuchet!
