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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Crusader Kings is definitely the game that leads to the sketchiest searches.

"How do I seduce my daughter?"

"What is the easiest way to kill myself?"

"What are the positives of having an affair?"

Stellaris : how can I turn an empire into livestock instead of purging them ?

You've got nothing on the average dwarf fortress searches. Mermaid children bone farming ftw.

"Breeder" is only sketchy if you have horny internet brainrot. Like me.

Breeding in terms of villagers is sketchy regardless. It is commonly frowned upon to talk about people as cattle.

Only if you know that "villager" is a humanoid thing from minecraft tho. Otherwise you might just assume its about some animal breeding program in a village somewhere or a typo.

I don't know what you are arguing about or why. For normal people, "villagers" mean "people living in a village", and that is precisely why OP stated that a tutorial on "breeding villagers" out of context sounds sketchy. It's not life or death political word surgery this.

I know that "villager" is a real world, but no sane person would see these words and think of a human breeding farm...

"Here, have some bread"

"Great, now we can fuck"

At least it's not 1 16 or 1 14

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At least 16 is age of consent :p

Depends on jurisdiction

Even then, age of consent doesn't mean that viewing such content would be legal
