      everyone who says politicians are too old need to remember how many shitty right wing 30 year olds there are.

          I would gladly embrace shitty young ones over old ones. At least the younger ones are thinking about the future.

            And his time in office ended about 9 years ago, so 55 at the time.

              And then came along who would become the oldest, worst president in history

                    Five.

                    Six if Jimmy Carter is somehow still alive. I know he was 4 years ago.

                        He died in 2024.

                            I honestly think seeing Trump win killed him. His wife dying probably played a larger role, but I don’t think seeing the country go down the toilet did nothing to him, and the election was the killing blow. The cancer was irrelevant, he already survived that like three times.

                                I still hate how most of the country capitulated the orange menace and raised the flags for his inauguration.

                              Friend, it’s a shower thought. Not a deep philosophical discussion.

                                  Shower is the perfect place to think about deep philosophical topics

                              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:

                              • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
                              • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
                              • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

                              Rules

                              1. All posts must be showerthoughts
                              2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
                              3. 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
                              4. Posts must be original/unique
                              5. 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.
