Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage?English
3·10 months agoThat’s what I’ve theorized for a long time. One of the reasons alcohol is more popular than other drugs is how easy it is to take, that and the fact that it is legal.

5·11 months agoThere’s a good chance your dad knows my aunt. She also fell down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories during the pandemic and it’s driven away her family and she doesn’t understand why. One time a bunch of her friends bullied me on Facebook for being pro-vaccine and my Mom said she didn’t know any of those people and my aunt likely met them online through conspiracy bullshit groups

In the recent Pixar series Dream Productions, a tween girl is asked who she’s going to ask to the school dance. It’s now treated as normal for girls to ask boys. She also ends up not going with a date and just going with her friends.

21·11 months agoPeople always portray David as a child when it happened too. The Bible describes him as a youth but it doesn’t say how young. I guess because his brothers were already soldiers and he wasn’t, people figure he was a child. I’d say he was a teenager.

20·11 months agoThe saying “shoot for the moon, even if you miss you’ll land among the stars”. No you won’t, the stars are outside the solar system, they’re much further away than the moon
Would have been cool if Nikki Haley were the nominee and there would have been a female president no matter what
I don’t believe it would prevent the holocaust though. If it wasn’t him, it would have been someone else.
Just like now, if it wasn’t Trump, the Heritage Foundation would have found another fuck to carry out their bidding. Fascism is a systemic issue.
