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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Except that, in my several decades, literally no one ever said that. if someone did say that, they're ignorant or selling something.
Um did you forget Obama? Lol How was he not a rags to riches example of how anyone could become president?
People said that about Obama, in fact it was a large part of his appeal. Kamala as well. Trump dynasty... Not so much
Well I was raised in a world where at least a few public school teachers and grownups said, inter alia, that:
So long as they are natural born, 35 years of age and can convince enough schmucks to vote for them, yeah. Of course, the demonstration of that being true is that we got Trump, a lifetime grifter with no political experience.
On the upside, he proves one of my go to sayings true: "There are two kinds of people I don't trust, salesmen and politicians. And politicians are just salesmen selling that they should be in charge."
