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.

Savory gelatin tho.... I'm so glad I was born too late to enjoy a 1970s midwestern potluck dinner party.
Wait until you learn what head cheese is.
Terrine in general is fantastic as charcuterie. I'd be totally fine with head cheese. I get that the process is gross, but it tastes great. Kind of like pate.
The whole process of farm to table is gross if you think about it.
It is. But when you kill the animal, you can at least eat all of it.
But that name is extremely disgusting.
It got the name by having the entire head of a pig in it.
The head part is not my issue. The combination grosses me out.
Dang. I was thinking of a different type of head..
Yeah. Terrine is a better generalized word for it.
