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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Not always, but whenever we did the "lets put the dictator on a remote island" or similar thing, they came back, with a vengeance.
It depends on the island. Napoleon died on a remote island. It took a few tries though.
and burned down half of Europe in the process
To be fair, Napoleon didn't actually start any of his wars, it was the European nobility launching wars to reinstate the French Monarchy.
