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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If a tunnel boring machine were installed facing downward in a cemetery, you wouldn't need to expand the cemetery (lemm.ee)

Just have it drill downward, put some more dirt on the coffins, add another layer of coffins, and repeat!

Na, too wasteful. Instead, just cement everyone into one of those concrete arches that tunnel boring machines poop out behind them and turn those corpses into tunnels. You still get to be buried but you're also doing something useful in death!

That would create weak concrete in the exact place you absolutely do not want weak concrete.
