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

Yes, that's what Europeans don't understand about America. When we go to, say, Wal Mart, there's only one. We have to go to Bentonville, AR. Not so bad for us here in the Midwest, but the residents of Alaska have it particularly tough. And since you go to Wal Mart to pick up milk, we can't go by public transport. It has to be by car, or better yet, drive the Canyonero. (No train schedule can predict when the milk runs out!)
The country is so big, and we have so much empty land, there's just simply no room to build more stores near where people live. What kind of madness would that be?!
How about YOU predicting when milk runs out? I'm not asking you to do five-year plan, but it's easy to know when milk will run our.
Russia is bigger and has more empty land. Despite Putin's idiocy with invading other country.
Ha, I thought that the blatant contradiction about having too much space and therefore not enough space would make the joke obvious, but I guess not.
Also, a Canyonero isn't a real vehicle. It was a joke from The Simpsons.
The joke was obvious, and you even doubled down by suggesting people intentionally go to Bentonville. I appreciated it
