The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared.

    I worked for a manufacturer on the engineering side for a while, and we had this absolute manipulator cunt in HR, basically throwing the CEO’s name around like it was a pass to commit murder.

    Once the CEO found out some of the shit she pulled, he dropped the ban hammer immediately. It was such a relief to us all, we were literally skipping and hopping in the hallways shouting “ding dong! the witch is dead!” It was a great moment until we realized a few months later half of the shit she did actually came from him and nothing really changed.

    That last point may or may not be relevant to current times.

      Yeah that’s the worst he was not mad at the actions he was made she was throwing his name around. She was ment to be plausible deniability.

        Exactly, you get what I’m trying to say. That and it isn’t just one person/entity that is the issue.

      Is the ban hammer a firing, or was she just kicked from the company servers?

      It would be HILARIOUS if a military band did that instead of playing Hail to the Chief. He gets off Air Force One and you just hear Fum fum fu fuuum, DUUUUURG.

        I could not for the life of me remember what the price is right failure horn sounded like.

        Then I read your comment and it was like a bolt into my soul.

        I’m not so sure. Get a few dozen full honey trucks that have been roasting in the sun for a few weeks, and have ‘em unload on him. That seems like a fitting purpose for sewage.

            I’m not trying to be nice about the death of the fascist, and mar-a-fucko’s already a steaming pile of shit, so there wouldn’t be much difference by dumping on him there.

    Currently, that Tom Petty song with the lyric about “the waiting is the hardest part” seems appropriate.

    Words that rhyme with Trump: chump, grump, slump, bump, rump, lump, hump, Gump, dump, frump(y), pump, thump, clump, stump…

    For Don: gone, pawn, prawn, fong, jong, con, QAnon, Mastadon…

    There’s some pretty inspiring stuff to work with here for sure.

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.
