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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I wondered about this as a tactic. Like doesn't a pager really limit the age group / demographic you can target?
Not really. They're using them because they're untrackable (one way pagers only receive data and never send anything). That's quite important if your enemy has laser guided bombs and a complete lack of empathy for civilian lives.
