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

I know Mormons can't have alcohol, but couldn't they just dip their tongue in a glass of beer and not move it? (sh.itjust.works)

Yeah, they don't usually encompass the whole city, just the Jewish communities. Eruvs aren't really necessary if you aren't following Halacha (Jewish custom/religious law). Plus it's a big deal if it's broken, and it's less likely to be broken if it's smaller and easier to maintain.

In which case the city is not "partially encircled", but "parts of the city are encircled". Makes much more sense now.
