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)

Well the US would have to "Come and take [the cannon]" first as it's in a museum in Gonzales, Texas. It was too much trouble for a dinky little cannon then, it'll be too much trouble for a dinky little cannon in this hypothetical future.

Edit: upon further research the "Come and take it" cannon was not that little one in the museum, but a larger one. However that one was melted down and turned in to a church bell
