Some people have trouble with the meaning of words and need little crutches to help them. We call these people grammar nazis. We should not stoop to their level though and accept that they have to have these crutches in order to understand and if they are missing they can't only talk about their lack while ignoreing what is being said.
They’re important. They give a little pause, so when you read it, your brain interprets shapes as speech

Yeah, it does feel off
Well, although not as final and weighty as a period, I still wish more people would learn to use it properly. It does help with the structure and flow of a sentence. Its use or omission won't change the idea being shared, but it can certainly affect the facility and the enjoyment of the reader.
Nah. Commas will change the meaning of a sentence more quickly than just about anyone. Some commas won't, but others will. The famous "Eats, shoots, and leaves" line about pandas is the classic illustration of that.
Ha! Fair enough!
This is inane. Commas are very important for proper understanding of a sentence, are commonly used, etc.
To even consider this, you likely aren't aware of many punctuation marks: https://proofed.com/writing-tips/7-unusual-punctuation-marks-you-never-knew-existed/ How can you say the comma is the "least useful" when you've never even used many of the punctuation marks
I never use semicolons. I'm probably wrong not to, but never know when to.
It's quite simple really; just add one to a run-on sentence.
There difference between eating your grandma or not so I beg to differ.
Lets eat, grandma!
Lets eat grandma!
Commas save lives.
And grandmas.
I think we could do without a few letters. We don’t need a w when we already have u ( can just use this twice for the same affect)

Uuolfgang Amadeus Mozart couldnt agree more.
You should probably keep your shower thoughts to yourself or let them bake a little longer.
Just sayin'
HAHA! This post is hilarious. What’s even funnier is that this is the least useful showerthought
I would say the semi colon is less useful, as by nature it could always be replaced with a period. It's used to string two complete sentences together if the writer deems it necessary to connect them further than just having them together.
At least I think so. Been a hot minute since I was in a writing class
This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.
Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"
(For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)

Commas are pretty useful. Semicolons are also useful, but the world could go on without them. They’re not THAT frequently used or helpful.

Nope, that joke is supposed to be about capitalizing letters.
Helping your Uncle Jack off a horse.
Helping your uncle jack off a horse.
No need for a comma in either sentence.
It'd be funnier if you put "his wife" instead of "a horse"
Except that’s not an appropriate use of a comma…
Let's eat Grandma! Let's eat. Grandma!
Commas, they save lives.
Or periods lol

Really?
Do you not recognize the difference between "let's eat grandma" and "let's eat, grandma"?
