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.

Not at this time, but if he were to create such damage that it impacts a generation and unanimously agreed as a villain then at that point the name Donald will be associated with him. Ex: the name Adolf is associated with Adolf Hitler.

Osama and Mao, but yes it's increasingly rare. I think we tend to associate historic people with their last names more than their first names.

I keep forgetting that Asia mostly have the family name first. But Osama still stands.

yeah, for most of the western world that was the first time we'd heard that name.
