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

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

You're not wrong. But you're like nine years late on this one.

[–] 3volver@lemmy.world 34 points 4 months ago (4 children)

In our beautiful current year of 2024 the fucker is running again after being impeached twice, after losing in 2020, after becoming a convicted felon.

Was that the number of wigglers he injected into Stormy Daniels?

[–] IsoSpandy@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

It's the upper bound

[–] alucard@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 months ago

Indeed. Might not be the rhetoric from this go round, but it’s great that you’re shining a spotlight on it. One more word soup statement that was a projection imo.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

You know we all are so focused on him not being reelected in 2024 that we forget that if he won't he'll definitely find a way to run again in 2028 and we have all this hell all over again

Ignoring all that. Are he and Biden truly the best that that country has to offer, out of the ~~~290mil~~ ~184mil native-born citizens over age 35?? I don't believe that.

Edit: added restrictions on the age group.

“Ignoring all that”

keep whining… keep adding conditionals…

Read the rest of the comment, before you get angry. You may find that full opinions are a little easier to swallow than the partial you chose to hear.

Nothing unread. Nothing of value was lost. No value missed. You cling to BS.

Random string of numbers weighs in…

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 2 points 4 months ago

If you think it's random, then we're done here.

It's never too late for a good bazinga

He doesn’t want to get rid of the swamp, he wants to rule it.

I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder.

[–] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Dumbass knows nothing about ecology.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Swamp creatures lives matter. Make swamp creatures great again.

[–] Lizardking27@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Not how wetlands work.

If the politicians and bureaucrats that Trump and friends pushed out are like murky swamp water, then the ones he brought in are like raw sewage, so I always said that he only wanted to "drain the swamp" so he'd have room to pump in said raw sewage.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

He wanted to drain the swamp of the other guys. NOT his guys.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

He wanted to drain the swamp to make room for the sewage he pumped in

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Trump

I was expecting to see a massive political fight but everyone is being civil.

[–] Hedlosa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It's lemmy, everyone is left of Biden at least, I would say at least 30% are communists or anarchists

Ok well everywhere worth visiting on here.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

I'm not but I realize I'm a minority

I honestly rather the slight left than the far right

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

A swamp supports a vibrant ecosystem he wants to destroy and pour over with concrete. Its like the Everglades and the sugar farmers all over again.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Scum floats to the top of the swamp and when it gets there is no longer wants the swamp to drain.

[–] Twinkletoes@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Swamp the vote
