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

For the snails: a guy in the crowd at a trump rally got struck by a bullet

You might have to explain this one.

Crowd Strike is the name of a security companies that pushed a bad update today.

But it could also be a way to describe the assassination attempt.

Not really. Unless someone shot into the crowd. Or a bunch of people from the crowd shot someone.

It's kind of a stretch but the shots were into a crowd. One died.

It's a big stretch. But it's also a shower thought, so whatevs

I don't remember a strike on Sunday or Monday.

Technically it was last Saturday, but that's within the last 7 days, so it's a week, just not the current calendar or business week.

Some countries, including where the assassination attempt took place, start their calendar weeks on Sunday.
