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.

Please read your own statistics. The first graph you showed forgot to add gun suicides to the gun violence number. And removing ~2% of deaths just by changing some simple laws is huge. It would be better than completely curing AIDS.

Regarding your second screenshot: The guy before was talking about how the USA is the most dangerous western country. So you post a screenshot which puts the USA behind some non-western country.

If you look at the fitting article on Wikipedia

You see that the USA is currently on place 9, behind only South/Middle American and Carribian countries.

The next kinda western country is Serbia on place 22.
