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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

How exactly are they evolving if you kill them? Surely the ones you don't kill evolve 🤔

Exactly, I kill the slowest, leaving the fastest to breed.

Counter: you’re killing the ones that like the taste of a human and thus they’ll evolve to avoid humans.

We need this system institutionalized for humans. Except instead of slowest, we just kill the assholes.

Oh, I see we've already started! Pardon me! I was a tad behind the news.

That's pretty hard to do. Just consider the executioners: everyone that wants that job is an asshole as they want to kill other people and would have to be killed themselves. And if you make somebody be the executioner that doesn't want to do it (a not asshole), then the people forcing them to do it are assholes as they are forcing somebody to be an executioner against their will!
