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

Well, everyone in modern society knows that only hunters, farmers and shit-scared fuckin cowards own guns so maybe batman is European?
Doesnt switzerland have a shitonne of guns?
It looks like that because Switzerland has mandatory military service and after that people keep their service rifle at home (without ammunition). But it's not at all comperable to the gun situation in America.
Actually thats the funny and really sad thing. America has guns as they copied the swiss system of an armed militia then kept the guns and abolished the militia creating the basket case they have now with a shitonne of guns and not enough people trained to be safe with them.
Half the white people: Yee haw, I'm gonna shoot some minorities! I'm in a militia!
Other half of white people: Don't worry, the police will protect you. No ~~militias~~ gangs allowed!
Uh oh. Guess I'm getting my white card revoked. I don't like cowboys or cops.
