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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

If Texas Ever Tries for Independence again, the US should Send Mexico the "Come and Take it!" cannon just to rub their idiocy in their faces. (lemm.ee)

not saying they would be able to hold off a full blown invasion from Mexico

The danger isn't the Mexican government invading...

It's South American cartels realizing a foothold in New Texas would be valuable. And they're not known for taking only what they need.

An "armed populace" isn't going to fight off the fucking cartels, and the cartels are going to turn Texas into a fucking war zone as they fight over it.

Jesus goddamned christ imagine how much it'd make age of imperialism americans' heads spin to see Texas get filibustered by Latin American mercenaries.
