Well the US would have to "Come and take [the cannon]" first as it's in a museum in Gonzales, Texas. It was too much trouble for a dinky little cannon then, it'll be too much trouble for a dinky little cannon in this hypothetical future.

Edit: upon further research the "Come and take it" cannon was not that little one in the museum, but a larger one. However that one was melted down and turned in to a church bell

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  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
