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

On Ash Wednesday many people look like they have an Iron Cross on their forehead. That's a bad look. (self.showerthoughts)

No. Many of these marks are fat, dark crosses that are very similar to the Iron Cross.

Did they also specifically draw the edge of the cross this way?

They don't its just a black cross, sometimes it's just a dot if the priest has fat fingers or is rushing through a busy service

Or a Maltese cross.

Meh, I associate that mostly as red, from the fire service.
