It's easy to imagine yourself withstanding torture in order to save a loved one... until you hit your thumb with a hammer or stub your toe IRL (lemmy.world)

Pluck a nostril hair: "Please stop! I have a wife and kids! Take them"

"That dude has a wife and kids! I'll get you their bank account numbers and social security numbers! PLEASE STOP!!!"

You jest, but a person in the grips of torture will give up anyone, and anything to make it stop, their wife and kids included.

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
