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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Did you end up finding evidence of mass psychosis actually happening?
Interesting you mentioned that. Salem witch trials, Jonestown, Raelians were mentioned. Not all victims of the inquisition/witch trials were, some were accused for vexing the wrong person. I can’t imagine some issue didn’t plague most suicide or even murder cults’ members. The perpetrators would seem to fit criteria for psychopaths.
