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

Mangione is a playful Italian word that means “big eater” or “glutton“. It is the combination of the verb mangiare (to eat) and the suffix -one which is used to describe things that are big.

He lived up to his name and ate the rich.

Mangione isn't the shooter, though

Would absolutely love for this to be the case, the cops spend all their time prosecuting this dude while the real killer takes away and Luigi is set for life after all the character defamation suits he gains from the media

I admit it.

It was me, Mario!

But my name is actually Guy Tomber, and I'm French.

(For those who don't speak the language of love, that translates, in a punny way, to 'fall guy')
