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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"But he tells it like it is!" they say.
Then you listen Trump giving s speech and telling 4 outright lies in the first 3 rambling sentences.
I just tell the people who quote that line that they're a fucking moron. Then they get all offended about 'telling it like it is'.
He lies, grifts and rapes. And they somehow have the nerve to draw parallels with other more distinguished politicians.
“By the end of his term, Trump had accumulated 30,573 untruths during his presidency — averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day.”

Anyway, those numbers are kinda impressive… in the saddest way possible… But I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any politician coming even close.
