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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  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

The guy already gave his statement at a deposition. Why on earth would they kill him after the fact?

Perhaps as a warning to other potential whistleblowers?

Maybe the compound infection took longer to take effect than they had planned.

To stop others having the same idea.

To give conspiracy theorists something to do.
