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

No. Military service in place of prison isn't elective, you still need the state to allow it. Even then you would be completely free, you likely wouldn't get leave for a while, and a discharge could put you into prison.
What do you mean in your second sentence?
They're asking if you could assassinate someone and avoid prison by joining the military.
What a weird question...

If you mean the French Foreign Legion, they don’t forgive crimes, but they will allow you to join with minor crimes.
