Mangione is a playful Italian word that means “big eater” or “glutton“. It is the combination of the verb mangiare (to eat) and the suffix -one which is used to describe things that are big.

He lived up to his name and ate the rich.

"Alleged" shooter. Are you convinced they got the right guy? I'm not. What they got is one very unlucky guy. It could have been anyone who roughly looks like that.

Sure. But they also allegedly found the gun, his phone, his notebook, DNA, a rather unique backpack, etc. Allegedly. Maybe he wanted to be found ... Because he was the fall guy. Or the guy they brought in to make us all feel no one can evade the long arm of the law (except the people who assassinated all the civil rights folk and a president, and those boys from the wiley house of saud)

It is definitely coincidental in the simulation is collapsing kind of way. The name is too spot on.

Or. Maybe he did. And he wasn't that experienced at killing and stuff.

Either way, the first domino has fallen. The collective anger has been heard and felt. What we've all thought has been said. And most agree.

Didn't they find a manifesto on him...?

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.
