I think you'd have brain damage way before you get to that point

so not only would you have an extra door you'd still be smarter than people voting 3rd party in a first past the post system. Win/Win

You may avoid brain damage, but your get cancer form the dust on the way through.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
