  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I feel bad saying it but a lot of them probably aren't vaccinated, so

My cousin Donald now goes by his middle name.

His quote: "man, fuck that yankee piece of shit."

Sadly, half of voting Americans think you're a fascist, Chinese bot.
Or a woke commie queer groomer in drag.

Why not both?

I mean, I can be a woke queer, fascist, Chinese groomer in drag that's a bot, can't I? It's a free country ;)

You could, but I'd imagine your therapist sending you a fruit cake every year at christmas as a thank you for latest new lambo you funded

~~half~~ 1/10th of voting Americans.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Eligible, not voting. It's roughly 1/3 of voting folks are maga.

maga is 1/10th of voting Americans?

Remember only 2/3  of the country votes that has the ability to vote

so, so wrong...can't you google?

Too bad his middle name is Elon. 😒

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It was a perfectly good name until that no-talent ass-clown ran for president.

I don't think people 20+ years from now will instantly jump to Trump when they hear Donald. Just like how if you meet George you don't think of Bush.

Remember when Khaleesi was a popular name?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Which I never understood. Khaleesi was her title, not her name.
It´s equivalent-ish to naming a kid King or Czar or something.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Like Cesar, or Roy, or Regis, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It's even worse, because my understanding is that "Khaleesi" doesn't actually mean "queen", but would more accurately mean "concubine/wife of the king/khal". I believe the queenship is only implied after the death of the khal.

A lot of us jumped on the fad of naming our daughters after Game of Thrones characters, especially the ones popular in the earlier seasons. And then D and D came along as show runners, and fucking wrecked everything for our baby girls. So Hodor, I regret getting sucked into that show and hope you'll forgive me one day.

My son Ghsrrfgff really hates me 😢

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Depends on how far y’all’s Trump derangement syndrome goes. Don’t tell me you’re actually considering taking it out on kids named Donald

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I wouldn't say anyone would take it out on them. But I can imagine growing up and hating your own name. I sympathize because I hate my first and middle name equally.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Bullies absolutely will.
