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

I get the humor in it but this is probably not a road worth going down. Trying to equate the physical letter X with a Swastika feels like folks are really stretching it to the breaking point. Plenty of other things to shit on Musk over than equating an X to some nefarious Nazi conspiracy. That's like straight up right wing Pizzagate territory.

Yeah. His actual support and amplification of literal Nazis is what makes him a Nazi, not whatever additional dog whistles he tries to make happen or stumbles into.
