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

There is a country where your criminal case can be dropped by signing military contract. Does it mean you can “drop” country leader and get away with it? (lemmy.ml)

If you mean the French Foreign Legion, they don’t forgive crimes, but they will allow you to join with minor crimes.

Iirc you can give a nom de guerre and they don’t ask questions, but if you want to move past a certain rank, you have to normalize relations and any open criminal cases with your original country of citizenship (though I’m sure there are exceptions, like if you’re an Afghan national and, you know, don’t want to be executed by the Taliban).
