I think you misplaced the apostrophe. If you think it's just going to be one American I have some news for you.
Showerthoughts
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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Can I put this in a .png and post it, next. I've been waiting all day.
This is a distressing thought.
Phew! Luckily I am not American.
Just make sure not to get caught by the French, they might separate you from your longbow-firing fingers!
As I prepare to not sleep for the next two days.
We do the same for new years tho.....
Here in Quebec they're ban because of forest fire so we get to keep our fingers (at the cost of permanent lung damage)!
I'm pretty sure someone already lost a finger testing a firework
Highly likely a few other appendages go missing too.
America can't hold a Roman candle to Holland at New Years. I know my way around fuerwerken but the Dutch go absolutely next level. I was completely amazed.
I live in Darwin Northern Territory Australia, every year on July 1st we have Territory day to celebrate our independence from the southern states.
