Putting people you don't trust into a trebuchet is a win-win: it technically means you trust them more, but it also makes them someone else's problem.

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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Agreed. I figure that after a trip in the trebuchet almost anyone is going to be "trustworthy". At least, in the sense that they can no longer betray your trust.
Orrrrrrrrr, they could turn into R-Kelly.
No, not the thing about believing they can fly. I meant more along the lines of pissing on 16 year old girls, and raping them.
What? There's a REASON they got launched from a trebuchet!
You're too good for catapults now?
Yes.
I'm in favor of using whatever you already have on hand.
This is brilliant.
Thank you! Sometimes thinking sideways produces interesting results.
NOT THE DAD JOKE 😭😭😭😭
