      Isn’t the UK also notorious for assuming it is the center of the world?

          I wouldn’t be so sure it’s just a “were” thing. You and I may have a more humble view of our homelands but I think we’ve both got to accept that there are some awfully myopic idiots residing in both of our states.

              At least I can take solace in the fact that Donny never won the popular vote. Still entirely too many fools voting for the obvious wannabe autocrat though

            Don’t really appreciate the pommy remark there skippy

            But yea, that happens. I meant the Empires over, not that some people refuse to believe it.

      Burgerland? C’mon man! If anything we’re bacon double cheeseburgers land!

      Just a burger would be like an Englishman eating chips without the vinegar!

        True. I also love me a bacon double cheeseburger. Shame we don’t have Wendy’s here.

      I’m not opposed to being called burgerland, but I’m wondering why burgers and not hot dogs or apple pie. I think we should start referring to all countries by their national food.

        True, as burgers didn’t actually originate in the USA anyway. Are there any foods that are 100% USA creations?

          I’m not sure anyone has original food. Isn’t it all just the same stuff in regional flavors with available ingredients? We should just go by what’s popular, or perceived to be popular, which i guess does make us burgerland.

          Apple pie, hot dogs, and baseball… There is no American food. Maybe fry bread?

      Make burgerland, it’s been how many decades and you still think they “should recall that once in a while”?

      Earn it.

          Cool AI image bud, you sure made Americans realize they aren’t the center of the internet!

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
