Showerthoughts

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

  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.

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?

I always assumed it stood for "thank goodness it's fridays" honestly.

Didn't Friday's shut down over a decade ago? Chili's and Applebee's are all that's left, and the latter is barely clinging on.

You're thinking of Chotchkie's and Flingers.

It’s not uncommon for some sects to write G-d instead of God as a handy workaround, and even then “God” is already a euphemism for the Tetragrammaton rather than His actual name. So in that vein using “G” on its own is probably safe.

the lords name

I'm not religious

Wut? If you're not religious, why are you using the phrase "the lords name"?
