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

Not eating meat on some Fridays isn't fasting...
And that's not even something all Christians do, pretty sure it's just Catholics
Not eating meat on some Fridays are a Jewish thing that continued into Christianity; Catholics observe it more than other types of Christians, but they are not the only ones that observe it.
But that's still not fasting...
I did not refute that point, only who abstains from eating meat on Fridays.
