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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Honestly, that sounds exactly like what the CIA will produce when they need people to support censorship or just discourage people from listening to counter-narratives, the same way they supported the production of Zero Dark Thirty and Homeland when they wanted to support torture and unaccountability.

Don't forget 24. Multiple TV seasons of, "torture is necessary when you're desperate."
