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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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)
