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.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Just have it drill downward, put some more dirt on the coffins, add another layer of coffins, and repeat!

Only if the delving is also greedy

Not wanting to expand the cemetery or build more cemeteries is likely an economic incentive so it could be argued by the balrogs that it was greed.
