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

We were. Because we were. But those days are very much over.

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.

Oh hell yes. But you get people like that everywhere.

Hahaha.

Nah pommy fucks still act like the Empire exists all the time.

That would be the ones that shot us all in the face with brexit

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.
