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.

  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-----

shortsighted forethought yes as commiting actual mass murders is one of the dumbest things that a person could ever do

The thing is, a person can't commit mass murder. It requires societal level cooperation

Clarification: I am talking about the holocaust and other genocides.

What are you going on about?

My point is genocides like the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide are examples of hate and distrust can lead to humans no longer seeing other humans as people. Once that happens society becomes indecent and terrible things happen.

We should study terrible events like genocide as they show the weaknesses of our entire species
