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.
Showerthoughts
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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
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!
You're too good for catapults now?
Yes.
I'm in favor of using whatever you already have on hand.
This is brilliant.
Thank you! Sometimes thinking sideways produces interesting results.
NOT THE DAD JOKE 😭😭😭😭
