      Ok, here’s something resembling an actual source: lawandcrime.com/crime/kicked-his-a-pretty-good-man-clobbers-drunk-roommate-asking-him-for-cigarettes-to-death-with-box-fan-and-stomps-to-his-face-cops-say/

      The guy didn’t kill the other one because one was a smoker and the other one wasn’t.

      Instead, both were smokers and one asked the other for cigarettes, which is what caused a fight and caused one to kill the other.

      Thus: nobody here was killed “for smoking”, as the comment you replied to put it.

      So how does that relate to violence between gay and non-gay people?

        One never known anyone to be beaten to death for smoking.

        And you’re saying if the smoker wasn’t a smoker they wouldn’t have asked for cigarettes so they wouldn’t have been killed.

          No, they were not.

          lawandcrime.com/crime/kicked-his-a-pretty-good-man-clobbers-drunk-roommate-asking-him-for-cigarettes-to-death-with-box-fan-and-stomps-to-his-face-cops-say/

          The guy was beaten to death by a smoker for asking that smoker for a cigarette.

          Actually smoking wasn’t involved in the murder.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
