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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I mean that everywhere other than church during church time means most of the people around you are at least not Christian. Also you have short lines at checkout as a reward for your beliefs

Your experiences and phrasing are very localised, think. Do you think every Christian goes to "church"?

I think it would be weird if they believed that and they didn’t but I guess there’s all kinds of different brands these days. I have lived a lot of places from Japan to San Diego, to Mississippi. The current small town I’m in is where it’s so pronounced that this occurred to me, but it’s theoretically at least partially true everywhere.

No greater joy than shopping in a heavily religious neighborhood on a Sunday.

I've thought that too, but I just haven't figured out the best way to take advantage of it.

Open up a Chick-fil-A knock-off that's only open Sunday mornings.

Maaaan, if [email protected] would open up a spicy grill spot with discount times (like happy hour or "fourth meal", etc) matching worship hours & religious holidays.... Mmmm, hell yes!

(Just, don't let Voodoo Donuts get to the idea first and fuck it up.)

Edit: it will be called "Be'el-Z-bites" and the byline is "Mmmm... Sacrelicious!

"Satan's Spicy #2" practically sells itself.

I want this to exist so bad.

Mostly good for shopping and going to restaurants

Be careful you don't accidentally drown while showing this high.

No, but Leviathan missed the "er" in showering. It makes more sense once you slide that back in.

Because I’m asleep?

As in adult swim time at a pool, as opposed to Adult Swim from Cartoon Network?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

To be fair, the idea behind both is the same.
