Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
you don’t say
let me tell you about this secret knowledge lamestream media doesn’t want you to know
Is this a shower thought?
It is not.
I’m pretty sure the answer is no unless they are browsing the internet in the shower. Also it still wouldn’t be a thought
Y’all really don’t think about shit in the shower that happened outside of the shower?
I can’t be the weird one here.
This post feels more like an attempt to spread your political views. Even though most of Lemmy probably agrees with you I personally can’t help but feel this is a misuse of this community.
This is probably just a misunderstanding so it is probably up to the mods. I’m guessing you don’t have malicious intentions.
Obviously it is political; can’t really dispute that. I did check the rules before posting (mostly because I wasn’t sure if links were allowed) but there was no mention of no politics ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Fair enough
It feels like you support a fucking loser and feel insecure about it in or out of the shower.
unless they are browsing the internet in the shower
Is there any other way to shower?
This post was reported for being a news article not a shower thought. Also it seems like several of the comments are concerned that it is political.
There isn’t a rule against posting a link. The article does seem relevant and OP’s thought isn’t taken from the article, it seems unique, like something you might think of in the shower after reading the article.
There isn’t a rule against political posts. Many posts have some component of politics to them.
Thank you all for being civil with each other. Thank you all for commenting and reporting when think something is pushing the limits on what should be considered a “shower thought”, it’s an abstract concept, so social pressure is helpful in shaping the community. I try to error on the side of being permissive.
As always, I am open to feedback.
Edit: spelling, ironically
Sir this is showerthoughts
Lol, think folks can’t read time stamps, mate?
What? I don’t have any doubt you can read a timestamp.
He’s to politics what submarines are to aviation.
And, with any luck, when he finally implodes he’ll take a few billionaires with him.
The misspellings are against spam filters
Could be both, I’ve gotten emails where a word is spelled correctly some time, and then spolled wrong other times
I see whot you did there.
It’s to identify people that are an easy mark, and avoid people that are more observant.
Would around 50% of Americans fall for an email scam?
Truthfully? I’d bet an uncomfortable percentage of all people fall for common email scams all the time. But trumps base doesn’t represent 50% of the country. More accurately, 33% of Americans fall for it, 33% push against it, and 33% don’t think it’s a big enough problem to mail in a form letter once every 4 years.
I mean, if the ex president of the United States sent out the scam email, perhaps!
He does. Frequently.
“Buy commemorative coins, crypto, watches and Bibles to own the libs!”
I’ve seen my grandma’s email.
Its actually around 20-25%% if you account for the popular vote (which was not close) and people who did not vote, despite being eligible.
I’ve tried multiple times to respond to these scam emails, I honestly don’t know what you have to say to get scammed. I’m totally ready to quickly go buy a temporary credit card from target or whatever
Honestly, these stories are sad. Half the reports even end with them holding out some hope that their money is still in some fake account (because they have screenshots!), or that the person that conned them was not the perpetrator.
those spam/scam emails[sic] with intentional misspellings
… like ‘emails’? Do your ‘emails’ have ‘datas’ in them?
What are you on abuot
they’re saying “email” is the plural of “email,” and saying “emails” is like saying “datas” as the plural of “data,” which is weird since “emails” is definitely valid.
… like ‘emails’? Do your ‘emails’ have ‘datas’[sic] in them?
You mean ‘datums’?
