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-----

This is inherently political, but I thought it was interesting at this point of the timeline of events unfolding, he could be the de facto President despite not being a natural citizen. Trump has shown evidence of deferring to political strongmen like Putin and Kim Jong Un. I just have a gut feeling that he'd defer to Musk, who has a strong personality of his own.

They're both adolescents in my mind and I'm younger than either by over a decade.

being born on the third base permits a person to act however they want, and the peasants will have to take the beatings until morale improves.

Third base? These guys were born being carried across home plate.

Sir this is a free market and capitalist society. Why do you hate success?
