    I just encountered this. I looked for images of “White House Rose Garden” and 90% of I got was images of it getting bulldozed for getting paved over per Trump’s recent command.

    So I looked for images from 1980-2010 and 90% of I got was historical stuff NOT from that time range – like yellowed photos of how it looked before Jackie O’ made it the Rose Garden, or pictures of MLK or other random gardens.

    There HAVE to be images of the Rose Garden from before Melania ripped out the trees in Trump’s previous term. Where did they go?

    The best collection I could find was on this unsecured site: http://tysto.com/grounds/rose-garden.htm

    After that, it was, sadly, two dog pics on a Daily Mail article. One with a Bush the other with Regan and Thatcher: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2440219/George-W-Bush-pays-tribute-dead-dog-13th-birthday.html

    Most sites only have stuff like this current/bulldozer stuff: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/politics/a65124864/white-house-rose-garden-paved-photos/

    Where did all the other photos go???

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
