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-----

The phrase “snitches get stitches” makes a lot of assumptions about the quality and expediency of healthcare. (lemmy.world)

For accuracy, it should be updated to read "Snitches will need stitches."

... :(

Need might be too strong. We would survive not stitching up many wounds that we currently do. It should probably be "snitches would probably like to have stitches".

"Snitches will find themselves in a situation in which stitches would be desirable"

There you go, that's the one.
