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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I wonder how many US babies have been named Donald in the last few years and may live to regret it. (lemmy.world)

It got a bump in 2021 because of Trump

My link was bad. This should be closer.

It quickly reversed in 2022. More likely a statistical anomaly. Why not go up in 2016 to 2020?

Hey, whoa! C'mon now. We don't know that's yhe reason. Retro cartoons are on the rise. So much so that MeTV just launched a retro cartoons network called "MeToons".

How do we know it's not because of Donald Duck????
