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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Agree completely. And the fact should be obvious if you think about it for two seconds.
I remember almost walking out of that movie Zero Dark Thirty. A major blockbuster based on the premise that torture works. One example among many. Apparently there are a ton of people who want this myth to be true.
"We can hurt the bad people until they tell us what we need to know to be safe."
It's nonsense, but it can feel true.
