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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

How much would it cost to put someone to sleep on a submersible not rated for immediate-pink-mist depths?

Multi drug cocktail SOUNDS human but it introduces too much room for error.

If you must use a drug, use a single massive dose of barbiturate (sedative and sleep inducing drug) such as pentobarbital. That's both a sedative and central nervous system depressant, so it puts you to sleep then stops your heart and breathing. There's no chance to fuck it up- if you give too little of it the person doesn't die and instead eventually wakes up. If you give too much of it they die more quickly. So the easy answer is just figure out what the lethal dose is and give the person 10x that much.

Such a protocol is often used to euthanize sick pets, and it's sometimes used for medically assisted suicide.
Once again, fucked up that dogs and cats get a better death than humans.
