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:

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
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
Posts must be original/unique
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.

Why is nobody mad about TGI Fridays taking the lords name in vain? (lemmy.zip)

I'm not religious personally but TGI Fridays is a very popular after-church spot (according to all of the religious/former religious people I asked). Why are none of them mad about this?

How could they actively support a restaurant so sinful it includes a sin in the title?

See, I'm not sure about the cutoff point... I've heard stories of people getting upset over "God this is so good" after taking a bit of a good meal.

Like I said, I'm not religious so idk all of the context here... I'm just curious why I've never seen any complaints about it at all. Not saying more should be upset, just curious.

Like religion itself, the reaction to the word is completely made up by the person witnessing it. Your experience will vary but gets progressively more aggressive the further south you get where Sherman should have burned all the way to the sea

You need more context to answer questions like that tbh. No Christian denomination is like another, so definitely some would find it distasteful to use God's name outside Church, but most people aren't like that lol. Most people just speak the same way you and everyone else does.
