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.

Edit: you just have to be selective at your victim or do mass shooting.

Shooting up a school is the easiest way to go from nobody to everyone talking about you the next day. Grim but true.

If I were a dictator I'd probably make it illegal to publish the names or any other information about the shooter. Even better if media wouldn't report on the shooting at all but I feel like prohibiting that would be taking it too far.

Killing someone more important has always been a ticket to, not fame, but infamy.

Comes from latin for "ill famed" or "of evil reputation."

I'm sure a lot of the victims were just kicking themselves after they'd died
