      He didn’t lose a debate. He was speechless after a pointed argument.

      I haven’t heard him admit defeat.

    As I almost got banned on Reddit for pointing out, Kirk stated he was willing to accept firearm deaths to protect the 2nd Amendment, he also said that executions should be live streamed and thirdly, that children should be allowed to watch them.

    Dude hit the trifecta.

    Win, place and show.

      No one erased Charlie Kirk more than his own people. Can’t even quote him

    I don’t think it’s fair to say that the shooter actually changed his mind.

    Though, he was a pain in the neck which made him lean left for the rest of his life.

    In his very last act, he finally leaned towards the left on that gun issue. And he can also rest assured that his assassin was no DEI hire. I hope that is comforting to someone. I don’t really care who but I hope that it helps with things.

    I wonder if, for a very short second there, he thought “oh shit maybe guns aren’t such a good thing”

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.
