    His quote: “man, fuck that yankee piece of shit.”

      Sadly, half of voting Americans think you’re a fascist, Chinese bot.
      Or a woke commie queer groomer in drag.

          “Equal in the eyes of the Creator” allows us to be us, without adversely affecting our equals.

          You could, but I’d imagine your therapist sending you a fruit cake every year at christmas as a thank you for latest new lambo you funded

            Well, are you okay? You’re kinda not making much sense in your comments here. Like, the individual sentences make sense, sorta (this one anyway), but they don’t match what you’re responding to very well.

            It makes it seem like you’re responding to the wrong comments. Is that the case? Gods know I fuck that up myself.

      Trump isn’t a proper representation of a New Yorker. I doubt he even likes baseball.

        I still don’t understand how a bunch of Southern, trailer park rednecks who hate new York city rich people, decided that a Manhattan millionaire was the guy to vote for. Why do they think he’s anything like them or has why idea how they live? He’s literally a northern, cartoonish carpet bagger.

          I’m sure there’s deeper takes on this but from my understanding, it’s a mix of things: 1) he convinced them he’s not like other politicians (which is true, he was not a politician at all) and 2) he convinced them he’s the “pull yourself up by the jockstrap” American dream and everyone can be like him - that’s just the typical American lie they’ve been using for decades if not longer. Then sprinkle a little bit of christofacist fear mongering in there and you got some undereducated folks excited to see someone who’ll “fight” for their American dream.

      I’m guessing either a brit, an aussie who hates rhyming slang, or a VERY unwilling to adapt southerner.

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

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

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.
