You should do more cooking.

Mashed potatoes do have other ingredients besides potatoes. Like butter, milk, nutmeg, other stuff depending on local customs...

Mashed patatoes made purely out of squashed potatoes are not something you would enjoy.

"Riced potatoes" are one example. Mashed (riced) to look like rice, sometimes with added herbs and spices. But potatoes mashed with a splash of whole cream/milk, some butter and salt is a wonderful experience if nothing else. Plain potatoes mashed with a fork only? I'll pass...

Boil 'em, mash 'em, put 'em in a stew!

Stomachs are smarter than brains sometimes.

My mouth does, and that's the important part.

Tbf, I don't like mashed potatoes so it doesn't even matter!

[-] withersailor@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Yes it does. Plain potato vs mashed potatoe, with butter/cream/milk. It'll know.

Remind me not to eat at your place...

What are you (not) doing to your mashed potatoes???

[-] AB7ORH7D@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I mean when you chew your potatoes, they get mashed. So all I'm saying is that when you eat potatoes vs eat mashed potatoes, your stomach doesn't really know the difference now does it

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Masticating and mashing are different processes. Please tell me your aren't chewing your potatoes (insert next step) and calling them mashed?

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.
