Does this imply showering is evil?

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There's a comma between evil and showering so technically they're saying generic evil and regular showering.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, and since regular showering is part of the list of evil activities, it would imply showering is evil.

[–] Arkaelus@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well... from the perspective of billions of microorganisms living on our skin, every shower is at least mass murder, soo...

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

every step is a mass murder

It's settled, then, never again shall I leave my couch. They'll have to crane me out.

but the list explicitly states the actions are evil, implying that they are the evil version of an action that is normally not evil. i think that implies that showering by itself is not evil

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

It's the other way around. For the other chores, he has to state that he's doing evil versions. For showering it doesn't have to be stated, since showering by itself is evil.
