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.

When somebody insists that the food they made is good and that you should have some but refuses to eat it themselves, you know that they're lying and the food is shit.
oh hey, you were at the big family dinner last night.
it was my mother's turn to cook and she didn't eat anything. there was enough food, just it was really, really bad.
pro cooking tip for all y'all out there: never, and i do mean never, go into your spice cabinet and just grab seven random spices to season a dish. actually think about what you're cooking.
she made rice with garam masala and cream of tartar, dill, garlic, basil. like what the fuck.
It could've worked, but one doesn't do such risky culinary experimentations when cooking for others.
or ASKS them whether they want to be a test mouth. doesn't make it the whole damn meal.
