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

    This isn’t a shower thought. It’s just a personal opinion.

      Every damn shower thought is a personal opinion.

    I wasn’t really sure what you were talking about, so I looked them both up, and I think there’s a really good chance your optician gave you Nazi-tinted lenses by mistake.

          Very possibly. I’m sitting in a waiting room to get an oil change.

    Why is that a bad or worse look than whatever it’s supposed to symbolize?

      I see it as blatantly announcing their implicit support for a child molestation ring.

        How so?

        E: oh right I get it now. I was thinking of the symbol of the German army, not the cross

          When the German army looks more wholesome… 😬

    In general, judging someone for their religious beliefs and practices is a bad look.

      Good thing no religions do so.

    Maybe that’s why the Bible reading for Ash Wednesday services has Jesus telling people to put oil on their heads and wash their faces so that their fasting may be seen not by others.

    The German Airforce is probably wondering why you’re worked up as the iron cross is the roundel marking on their aircraft. The symbol is associated with Prussian militarism and far predates any Nazi associations in the German Military.

    Do you see all cross as Iron Cross?

      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.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
