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.

What mozzarella sticks do you buy? I bought some in the US and it was powdery crap. In Germany it was real mozzarella

Our food is garbage compared to Europe food because our government has actively hated us for decades and completely sold out our health for big business interests. But, the kind I usually get is FarmRich I think. They're pretty decent.

I've tried one brand in the past but the cheese waa grainy, probably made from a powder or something, it was awful. Stumbled upon Trader Joes mozzarella sticks, it tastes like and has texture of an actual mozzarella

Yeaaa! why run or order something to overpay, when you can have a deep fryer a home? Preheat and ready to go! I get you man!!

When I visited Scotland, I had a deep fried Mars Bar. It was okay.

The other day I fried a banana that was actually surprisingly decent

The next time Mrs Bizzle calls me a degenerate for my deep fryer experiments I'm going to bring this up, wow. I'd never heard of this.
