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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Counterpoint: You’re the bad friend for asking your friend to help you with a dead body

Yeah, this shower thought is awfully judgy coming from a (presumably hypothetical) killer.

Counter counterpoint: you are the dead body and your best friend is helping to bury you.

"yeah, when I said I'd do anything for you, that was a fucking figure of speech"

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I have prepended an almost every time I've said seriously that sort of thing to someone.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

For me it'd be fine. For my actually close friends I specifically said I would help them with a body if needed, so they're honouring my wishes by asking

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno, asking a friend is the right thing to do. Demanding things is how I ended up with a body in the first place.
