Where is this from? 🙏🏼😭

Nice, that's on my bucket list.

[-] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Make sure to watch it before your boneitis kicks in.

[-] other_cat@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

I definitely recommend!

[-] sploosh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I don't think you're using that phrase correctly.

A bucket list is usually "a list of things to do before you die" i.e. kick the bucket.

I can see how your use is correct, but it also doesn't feel right, which is 90% of language.

To my ear, saying that Futurama is simply "on the list" just sounds better.

Another option would be saying that the show is in your backlog.

But, use bucket list enough, and sooner or later that will sound correct. Because that's also how language works.

[-] EnthusiasticNature94 1 points 4 months ago

Nah, you're right. I used it wrong.

Bucket lists are usually for life goals, so it's a bit dramatic to say it for a T.V. show.

I was trying to be brief and was also typing in a hurry.

fun fact, the machinery used to make cereal and pet food is often exactly the same.

edit: for clarification, I don't mean they share a production line but the machines can be used to make either.

[-] EnthusiasticNature94 4 points 4 months ago

Now we gotta find the machines that can make both pet and human wet food and treats.

[-] hungryphrog 1 points 4 months ago

Considering that a lot of human treats and cereal contain cocoa, I'm not sure if that would be a good idea...

[-] EnthusiasticNature94 1 points 4 months ago

I went cuckoo for cocoa puffs long ago.

[-] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

To classify as kibble I think it would need to offer enough all the nutrition required to survive of it alone. You're not going to live long on just cereal

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

I had an ex girlfriend who was gonna try.

[-] hungryphrog 2 points 4 months ago

Depends on the cereal. If müsli or granola counts, and you're allowed to eat it with milk, you probably could live like that. (source: I have lived 4-6 years eating mostly granola)

[-] hungryphrog 6 points 4 months ago

In that case, would oatmeal be human wet food?

[-] EnthusiasticNature94 2 points 4 months ago

Oh no. 😭

[-] Migmog@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Kibble is nutritionally balanced.

[-] EnthusiasticNature94 2 points 4 months ago

Your logic is undeniable.

However.

Frosted Flakes are gr-r-reat! 🐯

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

My parents called them "teenager kibble"

[-] EnthusiasticNature94 2 points 4 months ago

Only teenagers? 😭

[-] Inf_V@kbin.earth 3 points 4 months ago

what is the second emoji supposed to convey

[-] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Sophisticated inquisition.

[-] jared@mander.xyz 4 points 4 months ago

I say, harrumph!

[-] EnthusiasticNature94 1 points 4 months ago
[-] recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

I hate to say it but this is quite an apt comparison

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago

I've seen human kibble and - please, take my word for it -cereal is a huge step above it.

Kibble is human kibble :3

Showerthoughts

36299 readers

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.
