You have a bad friend if he isn't willing to help you bury a dead body or if he is willing to help you.

    Counterpoint: You’re the bad friend for asking your friend to help you with a dead body

      Yeah, this shower thought is awfully judgy coming from a (presumably hypothetical) killer.

      Counter counterpoint: you are the dead body and your best friend is helping to bury you.

      I dunno, asking a friend is the right thing to do. Demanding things is how I ended up with a body in the first place.

      For me it’d be fine. For my actually close friends I specifically said I would help them with a body if needed, so they’re honouring my wishes by asking

    A bad friend won’t help you bury a body.

    A good friend will help you bury a body.

    A best friend will help you make a body.

    If you ask a friend to help you bury a body and they agree, that person is definitely a good friend. They’re a bad person for assisting you in murder, but you can be a good friend and a bad person.

      moving a body doesn’t mean they committed murder, seems more like accessory or destruction of evidence.

    If anyone feels this way, it might be a sign that you need to simply find new friends, or find yourself and seek a therapist.

    Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.

    ETA- I don’t think burial is the proper disposal if you’re trying to avoid detection.

      Ehh, plant a tree sapling over it and nobody will find it. Trees will devour a carcass for it’s nutrients.

    You have a bad friend if he

    Apparently, friends cannot be women or non-binary.

      Must every use of a singular pronoun be called out? This isn’t offensive, it’s slip of the tongue. Get out your own arse and give people a break.

        I find the way of expressing it a little excessive but completely understand the sentiment and based on some recent irl experiences I completely understand such an outburst.

    a friend will help you move a best friend will help you move bodies but if you have to move your best friend's body, you're on your own

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.
