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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

People outside the US have always been terrified of what the US president might do. Imagine if China had military bases all over the world.

Valid take. The military industrial complex is a terrifying ordeal.

The Kenyan Ambassador to the UN once addressed criticism of his country's relationship with China thusly:

"Every time the English visit Kenya, they bring a lecture. Every time the Chinese visit Kenyan, they build a hospital"
