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

no one is torturing animals.
some factory farms are torturing animals. depending on your definition, not all are, but the ones that remove pigs' tails and castrate calves without sedatives are definitely torturing them.
they're not torturing them. they're not being cruel for cruelty's sake. The point isn't the pain. The pain is incidental. it's not torture.
Too often it is...
once is too often. that doesn't mean that the vast majority of them are experiencing torture. or even millions. or even thousands.
