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.

Yes, I think your comment captures my showerthought. It was an excercize in empathy. I do realize that the love for a sacred animal is significantly more profound than the way I feel about my dog. That being said, I do have respect and love for my dear canine companion, which causes an inhibition for eating him.
Mmm I see I see. I don't personally agree but I agree when looking at it from your perspective.
I did a bit of a dive for it in a different comment but for me I do not share that love for sacred thing that you do which generated some interesting discussion. All around I'd say discussion mission was successful
It was just a showerthought, but this platform turned it into an interesting discussion. How amazing.
I have read that it is important to create content for Lemmy, in order to feed it. This has been my first post, I think. Better to get it done than put it off. I am glad people have been able to discuss.
I'm really glad as well.
One, I didn't allow myself to just be an argumentative commenter which is a struggle some days.
Two, it was great getting to discuss things with people. Different experiences different walks of life. I'm almost envious of some of what I learned wanting to feel it for myself y'know?
Yes, I hear you. 👍
