Showerthoughts

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:

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.

Of all the meats, chicken is the least offensive flavor-wise. It's soup is synonymous with being ill, or having difficulty keeping food down. It is basically the water of meat.

Sub-thought: therefore, i shouldn't eat meat that tastes worse than chicken. That would be like drinking something that tastes worse than water.....yuck.

I agree but it makes me wonder about pork which is not as bland but like I can eat it with anything and alone and when I see it I never pass it up. Im thinking pop.

Imo, pork is tea. In some places, people drink it more than water. It can be really fancy, or super simple. It's good when you make it with some sugar.
