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.

I'd say nobody. Not putting innocent people in jail is more important than punishing criminals imo. But idk what to do with the guilty half instead.
Not disagreeing but I don't think it's appropriate to refer to one twin as a "half"
Afaik it's pretty common to call twin~~k~~s "halfs", conjoined or not. I'm a twin, and I've been asked about "my other half" my whole life. Same thing with couples, or any two people who are perceived as belonging together for some reason.
That is a brilliant typo
Can't hide my gaming history 😅
I get that old reference, but these days and much more broadly, twink is for a term for a gay man with a certain body type, or other physical characteristics.
So you might get some odd looks using that in public.
TIL!
