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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I didn't so much forget it as I did assume Texans were just playing the martyr for getting their collective asses kicked in. Again.

You know... Like Dallas Cowboys fans?

San Jacincto was a different battle wherein Mexico got their collective ass kicked in there. The Alamo was a rallying cry.

Alamo itself was a rout for the Texians [sic]. There's no side-stepping that. It goes as it goes.
