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

It's ludicrous to describe a lone missionary as "storming the island by force".
I agree that it was a foolish move on his part, though.
I'm aware he didn't storm the island by force - I didn't use those words. The implication was that he went where it was made abundantly clear he wasn't wanted - more than once - and suffered the consequences.
The comment you responded to used those words, though.
Re-reading it, I suppose you meant to invoke "something stupider" which does make sense. Carry on!
