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.

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.
