There's already a name for that -- it's been called L'esprit de l'escalier since at least 1830.

Love the implicit crossover here -- the ranks of cosplayers look like a collection of characters from the Oz books. Meanwhile, someone is holding the Lance of Longinus on the right...

Fun fact: Every piece of Michael Giacchino's score for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has a punny alternate title. More fun fact: For "Krennic's Aspirations" (the track that plays when Ben Mendelsohn's character meets Darth Vader and will be properly embedded in the Video Madness thread soon), that title is "Have a Choke and a Smile".

Unexpected true history from the Babylon Bee. Romans loved their pork and it was often a flash point with Jews in the day. Christians pretty quickly realized that they couldn't be a catholic religion while excluding pig-eaters, and Paul had a dream specifically on this topic. The theology is pretty credible though -- no human can be fully justified to God by following the Law, so maybe the finer points of the Law no longer apply having been fulfilled in Jesus (and in fact were never intended to apply to gentiles). Justification comes through faith and redemption, not rule-following, so welcome Romans into our church!
Though Roman inheritance law was also very important in the growth of the church.
