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-----

I'd rather have a "Would you like to hide all Sports related Content?" button than a "Would you like to hide all NSFW content?" button (lemmy.world)

Alright, polandball time: I'll ask around the EU++ who wants to play Arkansas in the school play...if nobody takes it, I'm giving it to Hungary :D because they're being a dick lately. So, which state do you want? I hear Idaho's nice :) Germany already took California, France took New York, Italy took Texas, Spain took Florida, the Netherlands took Pennsylvania, Poland took Illinois, Romania got Georgia, Sweden asked for Michigan and Austria asked for Massachusets, Finland got offered Indiana, but picked Arizona, lol etc etc...do you want Wisconsin? Also: UK guest starring as Canada and Turkey as Mexico lol

Idaho, the mountainous parts, are nice. Some of the people are nice. But in general, Idaho has some of the most batshit insane stuff happening in it in regards to cults and crazy people. It's been getting crazier in recent years. They were an absolute mess during the pandemic and needed tons of help from other states who then couldn't look after locals in need.

I was trying to be inclusive, because I'm not american and I don't want to disparage those places I've never been to or know that well...but since you say it...rural states sound like a backwater nightmare :/
