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-----

These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

There's surely no chance he can win.. the last fortnight has been an utter shit show.. I can't see how it would even be a contest to be honest

I thought the same thing in 2016.

Then I drank so much I blacked out for two solid weeks

... Fuck, I'm like 60% sure I did the exact same thing.

I remember telling my (trump supporter) father the night before the election in 2016 something along the lines of: "You don't think this clown actually has a chance, do you?"

You said nothing this year, right? RIGHT!?

I haven't spoken to him since late 2021, so we're safe in that regard.

The fact that you said fortnight implies that you don't truly understand the animus of rural america

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I live in rural America and kids around here play fortnight all the time

The last election was almost perfectly 50/50. It think it will be very close this year as well.
