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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Yeah they’re vodka martinis. They ARE terrible lol. Gin is much better, more interesting with the botanicals. I usually do Beefeater gin if they have it
I do like a gin martini, but as a tequila drinker, nothing beats a dirty Tequila Martini.
God that sounds disgusting. I think, for the first time in 4+ years of sobriety, I actually feel genuinely sad for not being able to try that one out. It sounds so awful it must be good.
Hey, stay strong brother. That one drink isn't worth giving up your progress. I don't know you, but I'm proud for you.
I like tequila with a pickleback, which is the way less classy version of this.
Martinis do not involve tequila. That would be a different drink. When you change the single largest ingredient by volume you have a new drink
Gin Martini
Vodka Martini
Martinis is plural. You can make Martinis with any clear spirit. Whether or not you make it again is a different story.
If I make a Manhattan with Scotch did I make a Manhattan or did I make a different drink?
You'd have a Scotch Manhattan.
If you make a margarita with scotch, you'd have a scotch margarita.
We're not mixologists designing new drinks.
I've made tequila with clamato juice, did I make a Tequila Cesar, or is it a different drink??
No if you combine bitters, Scotch, and vermouth you have a Rob Roy because changing the primary component makes a new drink.
Fine,
Tequila, Vermouth, olive juice is called a Trex
That works
