For the snails: a guy in the crowd at a trump rally got struck by a bullet

Eh, not that special. Israel is doing crowd strikes all the time

You might have to explain this one.

Crowd Strike is the name of a security companies that pushed a bad update today.

But it could also be a way to describe the assassination attempt.

Not really. Unless someone shot into the crowd. Or a bunch of people from the crowd shot someone.

It's kind of a stretch but the shots were into a crowd. One died.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It's a big stretch. But it's also a shower thought, so whatevs

I don't remember a strike on Sunday or Monday.

Technically it was last Saturday, but that's within the last 7 days, so it's a week, just not the current calendar or business week.

Some countries, including where the assassination attempt took place, start their calendar weeks on Sunday.

Showerthoughts

36048 readers

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.
