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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

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.

I need to do some research on this

It really depends on where you bury the body. Once you get out of developed areas, it gets very hard to track things down. Take this example; she was missing for two years, and her body was found in a tent, in a sleeping bag, just two miles off the Appalachian trail, which is one of the busiest hiking trails in the US. If someone was actually buried out there, the odds that they'd ever be found are very, very poor.

Admittedly, carrying a body off trails through fairly dense forests ain't gonna be easy. If you were going to do it, I'd say start by getting an old car with no GPS, get some paper maps, make sure that you leave all of your electronics at home so that there's no electronic trail of where you've been (especially your cell phone!), and only use cash for gas, etc. while you're driving to your body dump site. Assuming that the body isn't recovered for at least a year, you're likely in the clear.
