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?

Do they actually say what "TGI" stands for? Is there some legal document that says its full name is "Thank God It's Friday's"? Maybe it actually stands for "The Grumpy Intestine Friday's".

They spell it out under their FAQ but I doubt that's legally binding

TGI Fridays stands for Thank God it’s Friday!

Lol, they can't even decide if "Friday(s)" is singular or plural.

It's singular, but (strangely) possessive. Like, O'Malley's implies O'Malley's Bar, this would be the restaurant that belongs to TGIF.

It's not possessive without an apostrophe.
