The guy (George Carlin) who told everyone that, "it's a big club and you ain't in it" was in that club.

George Carlin - It’s A Big Club & You Ain’t In It!

George Carlin had a net worth of $10 million at the time of his death in 2008.

Adjusted for inflation that would be $14,653,441 in 2024.

The minimum net worth of the top 1% of households is roughly $13.7 million.

So, Carlin was in the “big club” of the 1%.

      We have seen a lot of this weird sentiment…

      Brian Thompson is a working class hero

      Luigi is a elite

      Carlin is part of the of the club because he died with boomer type money…

      He was rich but he didn’t control the capital nor did he shill the ruling class propaganda

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.
