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

American Rugby maybe.

I think it may have to be called gridiron at some point.

Looking it up, football is a class of games where kicking is involved in scoring points. There's a bunch of sports that fall under the category, Association Football (soccer), various flavors of Rugby and various flavors of Gridiron Football (which uses kicking for field goals after scoring a touchdown)
