Showerthoughts

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:

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.

And I'll bet that the original trilogy hate Tiffany and Barron with a white hot passion.

Melania Trump has entered the chat.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Melanie (after looking as empty as always) has left the chat.

Is 'empty' a synonym for 'thirsty?"

Cause in this picture, she really, really looks thirsty

Erik and Jr are shit heads but I think they know that when daddy dies, the world will turn on them.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do they? I'm not convinced some of those idiots aren't completely surrounded by sycophantic yes-men. They have been convinced they are worthy. My only hope is that the power vacuum on his death sucks them all into oblivion with infighting and back stabbing.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Agreed, and to add to your point using the words of Rick James… Cocaine is a hell of a drug

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Absolutely. Like daddy, they’ve gotten away with everything except being the face of their little mafia. When the fat orange Don is gone, they figure they’ll just step up and keep doing what they’ve always done.

Look up 'Baby Doc.'

Papa Doc ran Haiti as his personal fiefdom for decades. His son thought he had what it took to keep the tradition alive.

I have no reason to believe they’ve been fully acquainted with what you and I call reality. I think they see themselves as princes.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Eh. They'll keep grifting Trump merchandise to the braindeads out there for at least a couple decades.

Trump memorial oxygen canisters.

Trump memorial diabetes test kits.

Trump memorial legal services that specialize in defense for child rape cases.

They'll be ok.

Dedicated Donald Trump discs, sold to the highest bidder

The show Succession really nailed this point. Everyone out of his circle wants him out. Everyone in his circle is casually playing it cool waiting for him to crash.

Unfortunately, not much will change. The hate machine will continue running.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I doubt that.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I like imagining Donald Trump as a rotting corpse floating face down in the water with sharks and piranhas that represent everyone he thinks actually cares about him circling and gnawing bits of flesh off his rancid body as they attack each other.

I assume the reality won't be far off when he does the world a solid and fucks off forever. It'll be fun watching the public meltdown his entire family has as they crash out and repeatedly sue each other.

Those inheritance dispute lawsuits are gonna be fun to watch

I’ll bet the kids have zero clue how an estate is processed and will be deeply disappointed when the bills from all the current court cases from doing illegal shit prior to presidency (and during) eats it all up.

Dude applied for bankruptcy 4 times already. That there impacts an estate.

If they had half a brain they would have distanced themselves far away from his black hole and make sure to change their last name on everything if they were expecting to have any future.

You dont see the name hitler swinging around all that frequently anymore for a reason.

That could have been the case if hadn't been reelected. But he has already raked in billions since he got in office again. The corruption is much more extensive and blatant than the first term.

6

Six times.

They were all corporate bankruptcies due to his inability to functionally operate businesses. So none of them were personal bankruptcies. I don't know how those corporate bankruptcies could affect the amount of money his leech children get, but hopefully it's significant.

Either way, his leech children will be able to grift Trump memorial merchandise to morons for years and years after their trashcan father dies.

I bet Jared planned something. 

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, the plan is Donny get to do whatever he wants with Jared's wife and Jared gets the lion's share of the inheritance.
