    There are churches where people have had round-the-clock vigils for over a century.

    The Vatican is a good shout. Also the Tower of London which has had a castle in its current location since 1068 and has been occupied continuously ever since.

    How can USAians be so dense? How old is the pentagon? How old is the USA? Do you really not know anything about history outside of the USA?

    I’m sure the London government district, or some government or religious building in China, Japan or Russia easily beats it.

        I don’t find it credible any more unless rambling like that is delivered on a white house balcony with a man in an Easter Bunny costume standing alongside.

      Americas president made his best attempt to describe the closest neighbour outside their continent, and came up with “piece of ice”.

      Thats what we are working with.

    Any… Train station? Airport? Police station? The White House? Emergency call handling centres? Hotel reception? etc etc

    And that’s just for the young country of the US.

      Surely there’s been a period for like, a fire drill or something. The Pentagon wouldn’t do that, at least not fully.

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.
