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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

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

I am curious what region you're from. I would guess it's outside of the US, but perhaps there's an area that differs from the norm I've experienced.

If you are indeed outside the US, I'm guessing it's the American tradition of engagement rings, without the tradition of continuing to wear the engagement rings. That truly would be a (bigger) waste of money.

You're right, I'm from Germany
