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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's called a wedding ring, but surely it should be called a marriage ring (startrek.website)

Like engagement rings denote the engagement... Maybe it's just English being its usual mess

You receive an engagement ring at your engagement and your wedding ring at your wedding. How is this difficult?

And you receive a key ring at key moments in your life, such as upon taking possession of a property or car.
