If you showed me a lineup of 10 guys and asked me which one ran a worm farm I feel like I would get it right 100% of the time.

    You can probably get to 99.9% accuracy by just saying “none of those guys run a worm farm” every time.

      I was assuming it wasn’t a setup.

          They never said random.

              They did, it’s implied, heavily.

              Asking “which one” means one is.

              It’s not ambiguous, you just missed important detials.

                  It’s okay to admit you were wrong.

                  You assumed wrong, when they provided all the information you needed.

                  It could be what you’re saying, but you would need to intentionally ignore the context of “which one”.

                  It’s funny you speak of bias, when you’re the one being biased and assuming based of everything being “randomly selected”. I read what the person said and parsed it, you didn’t.

                  It’s like having a police lineup where one person is a crook, it’s not some survey lmfao.

              A lineup (like a police lineup) is exactly that. One is the suspect and the rest are there to ensure that you can accurately identify the actual suspect to be used later in court.

                  You’re right to point out that the alleged perpetrator might not in fact be related to the case. You’re wrong to call at least this one person random, police doesn’t always appoints the perpetrator at random

                  “Literally a random selection except for the person not randomly selected”

                  Lol you have to be joking, right?

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.
