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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's a little funny to see Americans saying "genocide joe" like if the USA endorsing a genocide was a temporal thing and not the freaking constant of the last century
"Sure, Republicans killed a million Iraqis chasing fake WMDs, but I'm voting against the Democrat because she isn't sufficiently outraged about Israel killing 40k Palestinians."
Americans need to clean up their own shit before assuming their self-assigned role as world police.
Not self-assigned when USA was the only serious country paying into NATO. Every other country failing to pay into NATO makes USA the de-facto police. Fortunately other countries have understood that and are now starting to pay more into NATO these days.
Hey! The US has been genociding people way longer than that. Give them some credit.
